Along the way, he provides readers with accessible explanations of gender, sexuality, and transitions. He explores without judgment how complicated all these things can be, and how many equally authentic ways there are to live as yourself and find happiness. -- adapted from jacket 520 "We are so strong. We fight to be ourselves. This is the real stuff--the information you won't find on TV shows or in news articles about trans people. The emotions, the practicalities, the self-doubt...the stuff they can't cram into sixty minutes and that doesn't create a provocative headline. Before he became known for his YouTube videos, Alex Bertie was an isolated, often-afraid transgender teenager looking for answers. In this revolutionary memoir and valuable resource, Alex recounts his life, struggles, and victories as a young trans man. Along the way, he provides readers with accessible, highly researched explanations of gender, sexuality, and transitions of all kinds. He explores without judgment how complicated identities can be, and how many equally authentic ways there are to be yourself and find happiness. With clarity and compassion, Alex writes as a supportive older brother for transitioning teens, their allies, their parents, and anyone looking to better understand others--and themselves."--Dust jacket. 521 1 Ages 12 and up. 600 10 Bertie, Alex,|d1995- 600 11 Bertie, Alex,|d1995- 650 0 Transgender people|zGreat Britain|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Transgender youth|zGreat Britain|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Transgender people|xIdentity|vJuvenile literature. 650 1 Transgender people|vBiography. 650 1 Transgender youth|vBiography. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 Transgender people.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01765239 650 7 Transgender people|xIdentity.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01766527 650 7 Transgender youth.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01743062 650 7 Transgender people|zGreat Britain|vBiography.|2sears 650 7 Transgender teenagers|zGreat Britain|vBiography.|2sears 650 7 Gender identity.|2sears 651 4 Great Britain. 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 0 Young adult literature. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 Juvenile works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 Young adult nonfiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 914 MID.b26064996 914 FARM263915 994 C0|bWHP
