Am I Trans Enough? How to Overcome Your Doubts and Find Your Authentic Self by Alo Johnston

goodreads

Alo Johnston has been where you are. From watching every transition story on YouTube and navigating online message boards for answers to finally starting testosterone and transitioning himself, he now walks alongside you every step of the way to guide you towards acceptance of who you truly are. 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. Use this book as a space to engage with your fears and explore your doubts without the pressure of needing to be a perfect trans representative. If you are just beginning your trans journey, are twenty years into transition or have no idea if you are even trans at all, this book will help you to become your most authentic self.

Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this book before and it doesn't sound personally interesting to me, but it might be a good starter pack for people starting to question their gender.

Am I Trans Enough? How to Overcome Your Doubts and Find a Authentic Self - Alo Johnston

i need to read more trans books. PLEASE. also might make my mum read this, she made me read like, 6 articles about detrans-terfism* that were either misrepresented stats or personal anecdotes for why nobody should be trans. so its only fair.

*obviously she didnt pick the detrans ppls experiences that didnt benefit her terf agenda. :/
