Rethinking Normal by Katie Rain Hill

No but I'd like to
I've never heard of it
In her unique, generous, and affecting voice, nineteen-year-old Katie Hill shares her personal journey of undergoing gender reassignment. Have you ever worried that you'd never be able to live up to your parents' expectations? Have you ever imagined that life would be better if you were just invisible? Have you ever thought you would do anything--anything--to make the teasing stop? Katie Hill had and it nearly tore her apart. Katie never felt comfortable in her own skin. She realized very young that a serious mistake had been made; she was a girl who had been born in the body of a boy. Suffocating under her peers' bullying and the mounting pressure to be "normal," Katie tried to take her life at the age of eight years old. After several other failed attempts, she finally understood that "Katie"--the girl trapped within her--was determined to live. In this first-person account, Katie reflects on her pain-filled childhood and the events leading up to the life-changing decision to undergo gender reassignment as a teenager. She reveals the unique challenges she faced while unlearning how to be a boy and shares what it was like to navigate the dating world and experience heartbreak for the first time in a body that matched her gender identity. Told in an unwaveringly honest voice, Rethinking Normal is a coming-of-age story about transcending physical appearances and redefining the parameters of "normalcy" to embody one's true self.
Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this book before and I personally am not really interested in the story it has to tell (if you have read Some Assembly Required by Arin Andrews it seems like there is some overlap since the authors used to be dating and I at least heard that Katie plays a role in Arin's memoir, so this may be more interesting).
(via Review: Rethinking Normal by Katie Rain Hill)
Rethinking Normal by Katie Rain Hill is a compelling book about the struggles that she experienced growing up as transgender. This memoir that she wrote about her life up until the time of publication is an inspiring tale of teen experiences, gender re-assignment surgery and raising awareness about transgender.

Finished “Rethinking Normal” and I highly recommend it.
Not only does it shows the thoughts and struggles of a trans person the back has a a couple pages on how to respectfully treat a trans person (questions to ask, queastions NOT to ask) for a cis person that would have no idea where to start.
PLUS there are a few more pages of reference books/websites the author used when she was transitioning that would be a good read for trans and cis alike.
I love my new books but I love him more
