Welcome to the first of our Spring Celebration reading recommendations. Stopping by this morning to share a few of his personal reading recommendations is Zander Keig, a Member of the Board of Directors over at TransMentors International, Inc. Zander is also co-editor of the new FtM anthology Letters For My Brothers
:
Zander's Trans Masculine reading recommendations, in support of our Gender Identity & Expression Reading Challenge, include:
- Letters for my Brothers
co-edited by Meghan Rohrer & Zander Keig
- features essays from respected transmen mentors who share the wisdom they wish they would have known at the beginning of their journey into manhood
- Becoming a Visible Man
by Jamison Green
- an artful and compelling inquiry into the politics of gender, combining candid autobiography with informed analysis to offer unique insight into the multiple challenges of the female-to-male transsexual experience.
- Testosterone Files
by Max Wolf Valerio
- a raw, gripping, and poetic account of life before, during, and after injecting testosterone, based on the detailed observations of a lesbian transitioning from female to a heterosexual male
- Just Add Hormones
by Matt Kailey
- Matt Kailey lived as a straight woman for the first forty-two years of his life, and then he changed - with the help of a good therapist, chest surgery, and some strong doses of testosterone, Kailey began living life as the man he’d always wanted to be.
- Both Sides Now
by Dhillon Khosla
- Both Sides Now is a vivid and compelling account of one man’s search for wholeness, leading through multiple, complex, and life-threatening surgeries that not only transformed him physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
