An unflinching and endearing memoir from LGBTQ+ advocate Jackson Bird about how he finally sorted things out and came out as a transgender man.When Jackson Bird was twenty-five, he came out as transgender to his friends, family, and anyone in the world with an internet connection. Jackson didn't share this thought with anyone because he didn't think he could share it with anyone. Assigned female at birth and raised as a girl, he often wondered if he should have been born a boy.
He barely remembers meeting anyone who was openly gay, let alone being taught that transgender people existed outside of punchlines. Growing up in Texas in the 1990s, he had no transgender role models. In this "soulful and heartfelt coming-of-age story" (Jamia Wilson, director and publisher of the Feminist Press), Jackson chronicles the ups and downs of growing up gender-confused.
