What If I'm Right About Being Trans (in True Magazine)

An essay and review of Schuyler Bailar's He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters

I’m excited to share my latest published piece with you: What If I’m Right About Being Trans in True Magazine. This is a combination personal essay/book review of He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters by Schuyler Bailar (Amazon affiliate link). Today, my piece is the cover story on their site!

I talk about what it was like to grow up as a trans and nonbinary kid, but without being able to understand or describe my experiences with gender. As an adult, reading books about trans experiences and writing down my own experiences allowed me to understand myself more fully.

It’s worth noting, I’m trying to make a point about my entire generation (and likely others as well). My parents are (and were) supportive of me and the other LGBTQ+ people in our lives. But we were all part of this culture where people didn’t really discuss or interrogate gender. I find it fascinating that all these subconscious gendered expectations are placed on everyone. So I’m talking about it now.

He/She/They (Amazon affiliate link) is an excellent book for helping people, whether they are trans or not, understand and respect trans people more. Highly recommend.

Thanks so much for reading! Let me know what you think in the comments.
