It Gets Better . . . Except When It Gets Worse : And Other Unsolicited Truths I Wish Someone Had Told Me

Summary: 'It Gets Better... Except When It Gets Worse' is the coming-of-age memoir of Nicole Maines, trailblazing trans actress, activist - and sometimes someone whos just existing, which is actually pretty hard. Maines was the anonymous plaintiff in the Maine Supreme Judicial Court case Doe v. Regional School Unit 26, in which she argued her school district could not deny her access to the female bathroom for being transgender and won, the first such ruling by a state court. As an actress, Maines played Nia Nal/Dreamer in 'Supergirl' and Lisa in 'Yellowjackets'.
