À propos de la quatrième de couverture

What does it mean to be transgender? How do you support someone close to you who is transgender? And, why have we neglected the rich history - cultural, social and political - for a narrow view of transgender issues made popular by contemporary celebrities and film stars with seemingly overnight transformations?
In this eye-opening book, CN Lester, academic and activist, takes us on a journey through some of the most pressing issues concerning the trans debate: from pronouns to Caitlyn Jenner; from feminist and LGBTQ activists, to the rise in referrals for gender variant children - all by way of insightful and moving passages about the author's own experience.
Trans Like Me shows us how we are all defined by ideas of gender, whether we live our lives as he, she or they, and how we can strive for authenticity in a world which often seeks to limit us by way of labels.
