Autor Munroe Bergdorf

WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF 2023: POLITICS'A riveting blend of memoir and manifesto ... I found myself dog-earing every page' Elizabeth Day'Profoundly articulate. Entirely wise. Beautifully real.' Attitude 'Transitional is a clever, moving book that packs a lot into its 194 pages' GuardianWhen Munroe Bergdorf began to transition in 2009, her only goal was to be perceived as the gender by which she identified. More than a decade later, after establishing a successful career in the public eye, Bergdorf believes that transitioning is an ingrained part of the human experience, not a process that only trans people go through.In this life-affirming and heartfelt book, the activist and model draws parallels between society and her own experiences - told through the lens of adolescence, sexuality, gender, relationships, identity and race - to bring us closer to a shared consciousness.---PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR:'Bergdorf is proof that speaking up for what you believe in can provoke real change' Vogue'A phenomenon' Owen Jones, Guardian'A powerful and unstoppable new force . . .

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
