American Transgirl

By Faith DaBrooke

Matt has spent his whole life wishing he could be a girl. As a high school student in suburban Georgia during the Nineties, he is able to take his first steps towards figuring out who he really is when he starts at a new school and meets Michelle. With his new friend by his side, Matt begins exploring local gay bars and discovering more about his own transgender feelings. Life gets even more confusing when he moves to New York and falls for Erin, a struggling artist and lesbian. Matt must decide if an ordinary life as a normal guy could work, or if his whole life has been leading toward transition. American Transgirl is a funny, heartfelt story that explores the confusion, dysphoria, longing, and curiosity felt by transgender people as they struggle to figure out who they are, where they fit in the world, and who will accept them as they are. Transition is, ultimately, only one part of a larger life filled with the search for acceptance, fulfillment, love, and a place to call home. Author Faith DaBrooke is a transgender woman whose podcast, The Gender Rebels, is heard by thousands each week.
