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.
