This book is touching and profound without being graphic. Thomas McBee talks about his abuse at the hands of his father, and a mugging as an adult that could have resulted in his death. These two events weigh on his mind as he tries to make a life changing decision - to transition from female to male. This book is his exploration of what it means to be a man, and what sort of man he wants to be, drawing on the flawed examples he’s found in his own life. It seems cliché to call a book like this profound but it is truly thought-provoking.
