"In this historic moment of transgender visibility, activist and public health consultant Willy Wilkinson uses the power of storytelling to contextualize one of the most misunderstood social issues of our time. This poetic, journalistic memoir shines an intersectional beacon on the ambiguity and complexity of mixed heritage, transgender, and disability experience, and offers an intimate window into how current legislative and policy battles impact the lives of transgender people. Whether navigating the men's locker room like a "stealth trans Houdini," accessing lifesaving health care, or appreciating his son's recognition of him as a "transformer," Wilkinson compellingly illustrates the unique, difficult, and sometimes comical experiences of transgender life. Willy Wilkinson has written for the San Francisco Chronicle and Asian Week, numerous anthologies, including Transgender Rights and Trans Bodies, Trans Selves, and journals such as Transgender Studies Quarterly"--Provided by publisher.
