( ) This was terrific. The combination of narrative reporting about the journey of Nicole and her family, and the more straightforward reporting on the science and politics of transgender and LGBT issues, complemented each other quite well. The narrative part of this book reminded me a lot of [b:This Is How It Always Is|40409102|This Is How It Always Is|Laurie Frankel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1528314257l/40409102._SY75_.jpg|49038755], a fictional story of a family coming to terms with a transgender child. I think the decision, in this book, to focus on family dynamics was the right one, as it reveals that Nicole's story wasn't hers alone, and couldn't have happened without the entire family's love and support. This is a heartwarming and inspiring book, highly recommended for anyone who wants to begin to understand cultural discussions around issues of gender and identity. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? The inspiring true story of transgender actor and activist Nicole Maines, whose identical twin brother, Jonas, and ordinary American family join her on an extraordinary journey to understand, nurture, and celebrate the uniqueness in us all. Nicole appears as TV??s first transgender superhero on CW??s Supergirl When Wayne and Kelly Maines adopted identical twin boys, they thought their lives were complete. But by the time Jonas and Wyatt were toddlers, confusion over Wyatt??s insistence that he was female began to tear the family apart. In the years that followed, the Maineses came to question their long-held views on gender and identity, to accept Wyatt??s transition to Nicole, and to undergo a wrenching transformation of their own, the effects of which would reverberate through their entire community. Pulitzer Prize??winning journalist Amy Ellis Nutt spent almost four years reporting this story and tells it with unflinching honesty, intimacy, and empathy. In her hands, Becoming Nicole is more than an account of a courageous girl and her extraordinary family. It??s a powerful portrait of a slowly but surely changing nation, and one that will inspire all of us to see the world with a little more humanity and understanding. Named One of the Ten Best Books of the Year by People ? One of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review and Men??s Journal ? A Stonewall Honor Book in Nonfiction ?

It??s the story of a family struggling with??and embracing??a transgender child. But more than that, it??s about accepting one another, and ourselves, in all our messy, contradictory glory.???Jennifer Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
