Months ago, I suggested to my book club that we just read banned books this year. This idea was rejected but one of the women in my group wanted to read a book about gender identify. She went to our local library and asked the librarian for suggestions, and this is the book she recommended.
Jacob Tobia is a gender non-conforming person. He has never felt comfortable with the maleness of his body and prefers to dress in feminine attire. He's been an activist in LGBTQ organizations and has made a name for himself nationally with his writings and his leadership. This is his memoir.
My book club meets tonight so as usual, I just finished the book today. It should be an interesting discussion.... while all of us consider ourselves to be openminded, educated women, there may be some who struggled with various sections of this book. I'll report back afterwards.....
