Summary

Being a teenager is difficult enough, but having to go through puberty while realising you're in the wrong body comes with a whole new set of problems: bullying, self-doubt and, in some cases, facing a physical and medical transition. 

Alex is an ordinary young 20-something: he likes pugs, donuts and retro video games, and he sleeps with his socks on. He's also transgender and was born female. He's been living as a male for the past few years and has recently started his physical transition. 

In this audiobook Alex shares what it means to be in his shoes as well as his personal advice to other trans young people. Above all, he will show that every step in his transition is another step towards happiness.

Helpful and informative

As someone who’s just come out and still fighting through feelings. Getting one man’s story of their journey in one go is hard to find. Yes this is only Alex’s journey and point of view but extremely helpful. Thank you Alex for putting your story out there. Your voice is to easy to listen to too.

Mission Accomplished!

As a cis man, I still found this book incredibly insightful. It's a funny, honest, and Frank account of growing up trans, and is a must listen for anyone questioning their gender identity, anyone who has transgender friends / family, or anyone who wants to be a better LGBTQ+ ally.
