I remember watching Jazz Jennings TV show when I was younger and then she wrote her own auto-biography. Jazz grew up as a transgender woman, she started her transition at 5 years old. This book tells her life story from her childhood growing up transgender and everything she has faced to become the person she is. ( ) I read this book because a review of it was "in progress" during Banned Books Week 2022 in my racist, radical right-wing rural Republican school district, that had already banned Out of Darkness by another Latina author, for "sexually explicit content." Subtitled "My Life as a (Transgender) Teen," Being Jazz is a memoir by transgender Jazz Jennings of her first 16 years. Assigned male at birth, Jazz was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at a very young age. The book details some of hers and her parents' struggles to allow her to dress as a girl at school and play soccer on the girls' team, and later some of their transgender activism. The book is clearly written by a teen, and would be a good read for teens and tweens (and adults) to learn more about being transgender, recognizing that many transgender youth don't have the supportive parents and family Jazz has. If anything, that makes a book like this even more needed in a repressive community like mine. So what happened with this book in my local school libraries? Apparently, this book made it through the challenge process (although why it did and Out of Darkness did not is beyond me). As of this writing, the book is listed in the online catalog as available in the main high school library (but not at the alternative high school). I borrowed the copy I read from the e-book collection of another public library in Texas, as my local public library does not own a copy (physical or electronic). Included in a blog post and resource list at https://booksbeyondbinaries.blog/2019/06/10/non-fiction-about-gender-and-trans-e... I don't watch reality tv so reading this was my introduction to Jazz. It's awesome that she has been able to do so much for others who don't have the voice and support she has had. This was interesting to me but the best audience would be younger than me. It's about a lot of the things children and teens go through from the perspective of someone transgender. Funny, conversational, and really engaging. It was a mix of eye-opening and routine bits about teenage life, with plenty of big picture activism details sprinkled throughout as well. Some of the statistics are heartbreaking, even as Jazz's personal experience is often (though definitely not always) positive. I listened to the audiobook, but grabbed the paper edition to flip through, and it's worth picking it up to see the photos and interviews that aren't included in the audio version. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

At the age of five, Jazz transitioned to life as a girl, with the support of her parents.
