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.\u003c\/i\u003e  As time goes on, we all develop as people. We all transition. It’s what unites us, not what separates us.

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. * Attitude *\u003cbr\u003eIt's in this era of the complete dehumanisation of trans people that Munroe Bergdorf’s debut book, \u003ci\u003eTransitional\u003c\/i\u003e, is needed more than ever. \u003ci\u003eTransitional \u003c\/i\u003eis 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. * Vice *\u003cbr\u003eThe model and trans activist writes movingly on prejudice, navigating controversy and personal growth * Guardian *","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409837662551,"sku":"9781526630315","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526630315.jpg?v=1730508194","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/transitional-in-one-way-or-another-we-all-transition-9781526630315","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
