This story is incredibly poignant as you might expect for the story of how a trans woman eventually became a US Senator (although this book ends before that.) I think that anyone who cares about the LGBT community should read this because it enables a unique perspective on change.
Before I read this book, I knew that Sarah's husband Andy died right after their wedding but I still felt the tension as they tried so desperately to confess their love for each other on a public stage. This book made me sob, and it simultaneously gave me hope for a better future.

This is such an important read! Sarah’s voice magnifies the importance of representation in our country and the power of change that comes when we collectively raise our voices. As a young queer person, it has been so disheartening to see the shift in how cruel some politicians and their policies have been towards the LGBTQ+ community in a post-Trump United States. Yet, reading this has filled me with hope in seeing how much progress was able to be driven forward in the years prior to Trump’s presidency. I have hope that one day, we will be able to achieve what activists have been striving for in terms of LGBTQ+ equality, especially for trans folks who are being attacked the most right now.
Heartbreaking and inspirational, all in one. Many of us in America are only now beginning to understand and acknowledge the humanity of our trans brothers and sisters. This book helps.
A memoir written with three main strands: Sarah's own personal transition story, the love and loss she found during that time, and how being an activist shaped both of those parts of her, as well as the future for trans people in the US.
Her story is simple enough, and if anything as she suggests, her experience not the norm for trans and NB people. That doesn't mean she doesn't experience hate or abuse, but the support and love offered by her family, friends, political community and wider activists gave her opportunities so many trans people don't have. I cried. I laughed... I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Although based on Sarah's experience navigating herself and the political climate in America, the issues surrounding trans rights and those who are actively trying to roll these back is relevant right now in Scotland (and the UK). If you have seen arguments or pearl clutching over these issues, Sarah describes her experiences and thoughts on these discriminatory practices simply and in a way I'd struggle to see anyone with genuine concerns (ie not a radicalised transphobe) not change their minds about why trans people deserve our support and protection.
Our rights aren't a pizza that gets smaller the more folk join and we share it out. Instead, we have more folk in with us, so we order a bigger pizza, with more toppings and variety. It makes it better for everyone.

Great book! So hopeful and inspiring. I hope that Ms. McBride continues to ascend and accomplish great things. We need to hear more from her.
