Thomas Page McBee is the first trans man to fight a boxing match at Madison Square Garden, and in this book he writes about his training and his attempts to define “masculinity”. I really appreciated his perspective and insight, and his writing is beautiful. I’m very grateful my coworker brought this to my attention.

Compelling narrative from the perspective of a trans man coming to terms with white male privelidge; unfortunately, that's where it ends.
