She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders
by Jennifer Finney Boylan
I've been reading books about or by transgender individuals because I want to think about how life is for them because I'm not encountering them in my daily life. My hope is that it helps me be a compassionate caregiver to future patients. That said my ability to use the correct pronoun verb combination will probably lead to many errors on my part.
One scenario from the book has stayed with me... Jenny leaves a bar and a guy harasses her... She's frustrated and appalled by the situation. I'm not sure if she realizes that she has absolutely been accepted as a female by experiencing this situation. It sucks that there are people who decide what they deserve no matter how it makes the second person feel... But how else do you explain the existence of the #metoo movement? The author never returned to say that her evolution into a woman would bring undesirable consequences... Maybe it just takes time to realize some of this.
