Transitional

Autor Munroe Bergdorf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2024
The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf.
Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition?a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are.
As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely?regardless of how we identify?but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us.
In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience.
This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

Recenzii

A powerful rallying cry from an influential voice
This version of Bergdorf offers a glimpse into the human cost of being a Black trans activist in the unrelenting public sphere ... she puts herself on the firing line to make the world more tolerant for us all
The model and trans activist tells the story of her own search for authenticity and argues that we all transition, one way or another
Her much-anticipated manifesto on gender also aims to explore the transitions we all go through in life
As Bergdorf beautifully points out: we all transition. Whether it's growing up and coming of age, reacting to the things that happen to us, learning from our mistakes, dealing with trauma or finding love, we all evolve. This is the book that explores the things that bind us together
A manifesto on gender and an exploration of transitioning
By shining a light on the inevitable reality of change, it aims to bring us together and build a more understanding and inclusive world
A compelling non-fiction title from the model and activist that discusses fluidity of identity, sexuality and gender through the experience of transition every human faces at some point in their life
An intimate and life affirming exploration
I am forever in awe of Munroe and all of the incredible things she does
The transgender and model is trailblazing a way for the trans community through her activism
A riveting blend of memoir and manifesto . . . so enlightening and quotable, I found myself dog-earing every page
As you start reading Transitional, it might come as little surprise that every word of this honest and enriching book feels very carefully chosen. Then, as she settles into her story, you come to realise the extraordinary intelligence, insight and power of this tenacious woman. She writes unflinchingly about growing up different; a childhood spent trying to conceal the innate femininity that would distress family members, and the ostracisation she experienced at school. Profoundly articulate. Entirely wise. Beautifully real.
It's in this era of the complete dehumanisation of trans people that Munroe Bergdorf's debut book, Transitional, is needed more than ever. Transitional is a memoir that offers hope. It stretches way beyond Bergdorf's own gender transition story to explore the many transitions we all go through in our brief time on this earth. Crucially, it reframes the conversation away from the medicalisation of trans people - such a small part of the trans experience - and shifts focus onto the real story, sheer humanity.
The model and trans activist writes movingly on prejudice, navigating controversy and personal growth
