Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity,… by Janet Mock
Poignant yet educational, this is one of the best memoirs I've read to date. Mock seamlessly weaves her own story with informative details about the current state of the transgender community in the United States allowing the reader to experience her story in a fuller context. While I was very impressed with her ability to effectively insert non-personal information into this memoir, I was even more impressed by her graciousness toward her family who both loved her fiercely and disappointed her greatly throughout her youth. That graciousness combined with her crisp writing style and straight-forward vulnerability made this book stand out to me. I highly recommend it to everyone.… (more)
½Just simply amazing. Janet Mock's memoir is moving and so very important.
Fantastic memoir of a woman who was confident in her gender identity from a young age but struggled with family dysfunction, poverty, gender dysphoria and racism. Am absolutely brilliant study of trans living in the United States. I learnt a lot about trans phobia, appropriate language and everyday acceptance.
Surpassing Certainty picks up right where Redefining Realness left off. I appreciated reading about Janet's 20s, and how she learned and grew into herself during them. It's a comfort to a 20-something like myself to see another person describe their struggle. I was surprised at some things, like how long her marriage lasted, because of the way parts of Redefining Realness were framed. Overall, it's a great read, and I'm glad I read it.
