Transitional: In One Way or Another, We All Transition

Product Information

More than a decade later, after establishing a successful career in the public eye, Bergdorf believes that transitioning is an ingrained part of the human experience, not a process that only trans people go through. I had often taken drugs socially but now drugs had become a way to cope, to numb myself from being unhappy and unsupported. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms - but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation.

But we live in a society where the trans community is still treated as an inconvenience, an anomaly, an afterthought, an agenda or an issue.The incessant questioning of trans rights and constant debate turns the very real lives of people into concepts and statistics. The book will explore the journeys that we all experience as human beings, from our adolescence, to our gender, sexuality, love and relationships, identity and race, in one way or another we ALL transition. The million copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and. She has closed shows at the prestigious New York and London Fashion Weeks and more recently was asked to be a judge for the British Fashion Council Gamechangers Prize.

I was expecting from the blurb for this to be more of a manifesto than a memoir, when really it's the other way around for a lot of the book, with a lot focused on Bergdorf's own experiences and drawing out her conclusions from that, but by the end the book moves more towards her activism and the importance of activism and spaces and communities for making change.

As a model and an outspoken activist, who was hired and fired by L’Oréal in the space of a week in 2017 over comments she made in response to violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Bergdorf said she felt that, until now, “my intelligence has been undermined, and I’ve been underestimated a lot in a lot of different instances”.I felt deflated by my parents’ abandonment, and by the unsupportive and unhealthy romantic relationships I was having. Whether it's growing up and coming of age, reacting to the things that happen to us, learning from our mistakes, dealing with trauma or finding love, we all evolve. What it’s like to be a cisgender woman today is not what it was in the middle ages, or the 1950s, or even the 1980s. I have admired Munroe and her work since 2017, when she was terminated by L’Oréal from their campaign as their first black transgender model for speaking up against white supremacy and structural racism following the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
