From laser hair removal and coming out to her parents, through to dating, voice training and gender reassignment surgery, this intimate and witty graphic novel follows the character of Lily as she transitions to living as her true, female self.
Providing support and guidance on a range of issues such as hormones, medical procedures and relationships, the story traces the everyday thoughts, emotions and struggles many trans and non-binary people face and seeks to empower those who are starting to question their gender as well as promoting wider discussion about the complexities of gender and identity.
Based on the author's own experiences as a trans woman, this honest and powerful work is a testament to being who you are and a celebration of gender diversity.
Meg-John Barker, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University and Co-author of How to Understand Your Gender
'I laughed and I cried. I personally identified with many of the situations ... This is not only a great guide for transgender people, but for allies as well.'
Carla Lewis, Transgender Advocate
'Sabrina Symington's work is beautiful but she isn't afraid to show the ugly side of transition too, making this a story all trans girls can relate to.'
Charlie Craggs, Transgender Activist and #1 on The Observer's 2016 New Radicals list
'This intimate and witty book is a testament to being who you are and a celebration of gender diversity.'
Gscene
'Lily's clear explanations of how she tucks in her pre-op genitals or how she copes with dysphoria and dysmorphia, her mother's realisation that her unconscious bias sounds like Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminism (TERF), and the stories of other transitioning women whose appearance will never reach the delicacy they feel is authentic, inspire great empathy and visceral emotion.
Much of this is due to the art, which is vibrant in style and colour.'
