''A riveting blend of memoir and manifesto ... I found myself dog-earing every page'' Elizabeth Day
''Profoundly articulate. Entirely wise. Beautifully real.'' Attitude
''Transitional is a clever, moving book that packs a lot into its 194 pages'' Guardian
Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition – a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are.
As time goes on, we all develop as people. We all transition. It''s what unites us, not what separates us.
In this life-affirming, heartfelt and intimate book, activist and model Munroe Bergdorf shares reflections from her own life to illustrate how transitioning is an essential part of all our lives. Through the story of one woman''s extraordinary mission to live with authenticity, Transitional shows us how to heal, how to build a stronger community and how to evolve as a society out of shame and into pride.
