Gender studies classes, independent research, and incredibly smart friends aren’t going to teach you everything about the transgender community. And neither will this book. But it sure as hell is a start.
Cooper explores every insecurity, every hope, every joy about his FTM identity. He is uncensored in the way he explores how his parents might perceive him, his stories about his wife and step children are beautiful, and his examination of the LGBT community’s need to be more vocal about trans issues is so subtle you don’t even realize you’re being taught. Cooper is brave, yes, but more than that he is unfiltered, honest, and eloquent. And no matter how many times he questions the issue, he is a “real” man.
Put it at the top of your reading list, folks. We can all afford to listen.
