She wanted nothing more than to 'pass'-to be perceived as the gender by which she identified. 'I was of the mindset that in order to transition successfully I needed to change other people's perception of who I was.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a decade later, Bergdorf has reconsidered that thinking. 'We do not all of a sudden become a whole different person upon the realization of our transness. . . . As time goes on, we all develop as people. And it struck me that none of us ever becomes someone else entirely-regardless of how we identify-but nor do we stay the same forever, either.' For Bergdorf, transitioning is an ingrained part of the human experience, not just a process that only trans people go through. It's universal. Everyone changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart memoir, part big idea book, \u003cem\u003eTransitional \u003c\/em\u003eexplores the nature of transition, its significance in Bergdorf's life, how it impacts-and is considered and influenced by-society, and what it means for our own experiences. Bergdorf explains how she came to revise her outlook and examines how society views change in six vital areas of human experience-adolescence, sexuality, gender, relationships, identity, and race. Using an intersectional approach, she deconstructs the stigma, bias, and prejudice within ourselves and one another, and redefines what it means to be 'transitional.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Bergdorf seeks to bring us closer to a shared consciousness. \u003cem\u003eTransitional \u003c\/em\u003ereminds us that our unique differences give us power and shows how these differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, inspire personal growth, and forge a path for progress forward together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53791538282834,"sku":"9780063112148","price":34.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_13f1ab33-38c3-4bcf-8d7b-2673e60965b0.jpg?v=1781808873","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/transitional","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
