Transgress Press and Visible Bodies invite you to attend the "Manning Up" Launch Party!
Manning Up: Transsexual Men on Finding Brotherhood, Family & Themselves is a groundbreaking collection of 27 personal narratives by a diverse group of North American transsexual men who span class, ethnicity, ability, and age locations. Award-winning writers and new voices come together to tell their stories of doubt and discovery, invisibility and belonging, isolation and paying wisdom forward.
Manning Up offers readers a fuller image of transition’s place within men’s larger life pictures, ultimately challenging academic, medical, and bureaucratic narratives of transsexual people and expanding on cultural understandings of masculinity.
