growing up, coming out, and finding my place (a transgender memoir)
When Jackson Bird was twenty-five, he came out as transgender to his friends, family, and anyone in the world with an Internet connection. Assigned female at birth and having been raised a girl, he often wondered if he should have been born a boy. Jackson chronicles the ups and downs of growing up gender confused. He candidly recalls the challenges he faced while trying to sort out his gender and sexuality, and worrying about how to interact with the world. With warmth and wit, Jackson also recounts how he navigated the many obstacles and quirks of his transition. Part memoir, part educational guide, Sorted is a frank, humorous narrative of growing up with some unintended baggage.
