Mewburn, Kyle,

Faking it : my life in transition / Kyle Mewburn. - Auckland : Penguin Books, 2021. - 269 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : some color illustrations ; 24 cm

"Kyle Mewburn grew up in the sunburnt, unsophisticated Brisbane suburbs of the 1960s and '70s in a household with little love and no books, with a lifelong feeling of being somehow wrong - like 'strawberry jam in a spinach can'. In this book, Kyle describes this early life and her journey to becoming her own person -a celebrated children's book author, a husband and, finally, a woman. She shares the dreams, the prejudice and the agony of growing up trans and coming out, the lengthy physical ordeal of facial feminisation surgery, and her experiences as a woman - good, bad and creepy"--Publisher information.
