Trans advocate Munroe Bergdorf is set to release her ‘gender manifesto’, Transitional, next year after landing a landmark six-figure book deal with Bloomsbury.
The book, which will draw on her experiences of growing up in a mixed-race family, attending an all-boy’s school and beginning her transition, will explore six different parts of the human experience.
These parts will be adolescence, sexuality, gender, relationships, identity and race. Speaking to The Guardian about the book, Munroe explained that she wanted to show that the trans experience was normal.
She said the experience is “thought of by a lot of people as this far-off idea that isn’t that relatable. I wanted to drive home the fact that we all transition in one way or another.
