Sorted: Growing Up, Coming Out, and Finding My Place (a Transgender Memoir) by Jackson Bird
4.0
Jackson Bird's YouTube videos were really helpful for me back when I was trying to figure out if I wanted to transition or not and I always found him to be one of the trans guys I could most relate to, so I was excited to read his memoir. This was a well-written account of Jackson's early years, trying to figure out his identity, and eventually transitioning.
The info in here on being trans is pretty basic stuff - I knew it already, as will most other trans people, but it'd be good for people just starting to question their identities, and also our allies and friends/family. I honestly just think that the more well-informed, empathetic information we have out there about trans people, our lives and the issues we face, the better - and that 100% means trans people telling their own stories. So Jackson's book is a good addition to the oeuvre and does a great job of achieving what it set out to do.
