Transitional: My Story

WATERSTONES’ BEST BOOKS OF 2023: POLITICS
‘A riveting blend of memoir and manifesto … I found myself dog-earing every page’ Elizabeth Day
‘Profoundly articulate. Entirely wise. Beautifully real.’ Attitude
‘Transitional is a clever, moving book that packs a lot into its 194 pages’ Guardian

When Munroe Bergdorf began to transition in 2009, her only goal was to be perceived as the gender by which she identified. More than a decade later, after establishing a successful career in the public eye, Bergdorf believes that transitioning is an ingrained part of the human experience, not a process that only trans people go through.

In this life-affirming and heartfelt book, the activist and model draws parallels between society and her own experiences – told through the lens of adolescence, sexuality, gender, relationships, identity and race – to bring us closer to a shared consciousness.
