"Born out of thousands of hours of research and conversations with hundreds of trans people, Am I Trans Enough? digs deep into internalized transphobia and the historical narratives that fuel it. It unveils what happens after you come out, or begin questioning living as a trans person, in a world that works against you. If you are just beginning your trans journey, are 20 years into transition, or have no idea that you are even trans at all, this book will help you become your most authentic self."--From publisher.
