Transitional: In One Way or Another, We All Transition
by Munroe Bergdorf
On This Page
Description
"Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition--a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely--regardless of how we identify--but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. In Transitional, activist and writer show more Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience." -- show lessTags

Bergdorf 's writing is so straightforward and accessible and starts from a place of zero understanding of trans issues and ends up with an honorary doctorate... You may be tempted to put this is the hands of all those people you know who SHOULD be trans allies but just don't quite get it yet. I would have undoubtedly gotten more out of this had I known who Bergdorf was when I started it?
