A review by jwinchell
Obie Is Man Enough by Schuyler Bailar

4.0

Amazing novel of Obie, who is a swimmer and is transgender and has lots of support from his family but got kicked off his swim team for being trans. There is bullying and outing in this book, and a warning at the beginning for those sensitive to such scenes. It’s about making new friends and crushes and mentors. The author was the first openly transgender athlete to compete in NCAA men’s sport. Schuyler Bailar has an extensive website and is always doing workshops about trans empowerment and awareness. Afterwords for both cisgender and transgender readers. Highly recommend.
