Transgender Lives: Complex Stories, Complex Voices by Kirstin Cronn-Mills
4.0
This is a combination of information about trans* issues, history, etc... and stories/experiences from trans* individuals. I used the * because that is what the author did.
I really appreciated the content of the book, but would have loved to hear more from trans* individuals. The information was helpful, but I got a bit bogged down in it sometimes. What was more compelling were the stories. I could have read more of those.
One line that is sticking with me is something Dean Kotula, one of the contributors said, "My own experience always reminds me to assume and respect the complexity of others." This seems like a good way to live life in relation to those around us.
