Description

My Life in Transition is a story that’s not often told about trans lives: what happens after transition. Both deeply personal and widely relatable, this collection illustrates six months of Julia's life as an out trans woman – about the beauty and pain of love and heartbreak, struggling to find support from biological family and the importance of chosen family, moments of dysphoria and misgendering, learning to lean on friends in times of need, and finding peace in the fact that life keeps moving forward.

After the nerve-wracking, anxiety-ridden early transition period has ended and the hormones have done their thing, this book shows how you can be trans and simply exist in society. You can be trans and have a successful future. You can be trans and have a normal life full of ups and downs. In our current political and social climate, this hopeful, accessible narrative about trans lives is both entertaining and vital.
