About the Book

Conversations on the transgender experience may be becoming more commonplace but the topic is still all too often the subject of fierce debate. But behind the shock headlines, what does it really mean to be trans?

In this powerful, extensively researched, and deeply personal memoir, Kenny Ethan Jones, trans activist and writer, offers an authentic and in-depth insight into the trans experience. Drawing on his own experience, experts and the stories of others, Kenny unpacks the reality of living with gender dysphoria, navigating the difficult intersection of being Black and trans, the complexities of accessing gender-affirming care, the big debate about trans youth and so much more.

About the Author

Kenny Ethan Jones is a writer and activist perhaps most known for being the first trans man to front a period campaign. His activism specialises around menstruation, body politics and language; often consulting organisations on the importance of gender inclusive language and how to introduce it, and how to create a trans-inclusive environment within their workplace and communities. In 2024 he founded the company Bodyco, a period care brand that specialises in period care products for trans people (and anyone else who may need it).
