Between : a memoir on gender transition by a mother and her trans son / by Gemma and Leo Telford.

Telford, Gemma, (author.). Telford, Leo, (author.).

Summary:

A heart-warming and honest memoir written by Gemma and Leo, a mother and son, recounting the story of Leo's gender transition. The lives of transgender people have evolved into a talking point in wider society. Many people now have an opinion on trans issues; however, most have not informed that opinion by speaking to a trans person first-hand. Between is a memoir told from the perspective of a mother and her transgender son, with the aim of destigmatizing and humanizing transgender people and the issues they face. Gemma is the first to admit she knew nothing, and felt vulnerable and uneducated, while Leo explains that he always felt different and how hard it was for him to face his family, his friends and the world. Their story provides an honest insight into what it's really like to come out, tell people, get help, grow up and live as a trans person, as well as what it feels like to parent a trans person. It beautifully illustrates the issues, pain, struggle and joy for trans people and their parents, and is a must-read for those in the same shoes, and those who want to be better friends and allies to the LGBTQ+ community.
