Transitional: In One Way or Another, We All Transition

by Munroe Bergdorf

Overview

The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf.

Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are.

As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us.

In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience.

This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

From the Publisher

Narrator Mia Juul is in perfect step with model/activist Munroe Bergdorf while delivering her story and perspectives on gender, race, sex, media, politics, and transitions. The audiobook provides a candid, emotional, and, at times, painful view of Bergdorf's life as a woman who was assigned male at birth. Born to a Jamaican father and an English mother, Bergdorf draws from her experiences of racism, homophobia, and transphobia. She has earned a reputation for being outspoken on these issues, which has propelled her career. Juul, with her clear timbre and clipped British accent, will keep listeners engaged with Bergdorf's stories and research, and challenged by her thoughts on what needs to happen for the world to be a safe place for all.
