Unbound: Transgender Men and the Remaking of Identity by Arlene Stein

informative reflective

Looking at this book I thought it would be great to read a book about trans man.  I am one so that really interested me.  But unfortunately, I didn't get the book that seemed to be a good concept.   Following 4 individuals, I can't say trans men based on the that that one of the people involved is not even a transgender male but a female GNC lesbian so there goes out the window of following transmen.  Also, and this is nothing against the nonbinary community, the focus is more than beyond the realms of being a trans man.  Instead, there is a so-called traditional trans man which the author could just say some dudes are, gasp. binary (like me even though I have some feminine traits and such).  There is also the fact that even though this book is saying that the book is following transmen and their life of transition, the main focus is more on that blurred line.  So if I was the author I wouldn't say I am following transmen instead I would say I am following afab individuals.
