Celebrated transsexual trailblazer Kate Bornstein has, with more humor and spunk than any other, ushered us into a world of limitless possibility through a daring re-envisionment of the gender system as we know it. Here, Bornstein bravely and wittily shares personal and unorthodox methods of survival in an often cruel world.
A one-of-a-kind guide to staying alive outside the box, Hello, Cruel World is a much-needed unconventional approach to life for those who want to stay on the edge, but alive. Hello, Cruel World features a catalog of 101 alternatives to suicide that range from the playful (moisturize!), to the irreverent (shatter some family values), to the highly controversial.
Designed to encourage readers to give themselves permission to unleash their hearts' harmless desires, the book has only one directive: "Don't be mean." It is this guiding principle that brings its reader on a self-validating journey, which forges wholly new paths toward a resounding decision to choose life.
Tenderly intimate and unapologetically edgy, Kate Bornstein is the radical role model, the affectionate best friend, and the guiding mentor all in one.

Any alternative to suicide is better than suicide; no joke. It’s real. There’s more to life in its uncertainty than death; death is absolute; once it happens and it will, it’s over.
Only when you’re alive, you’re able to create change in yourself, only when alive you can choose the ones worthy of being friends and family; only when alive you get to learn and teach others what you have endured and cultivated through the years to ensure they too survive and hopefully thrive in this life.
The book is a gift that keep on giving and it’s one that I have given to the ones I love; I hope it remain a source of hope and comfort for many readers in these times and the next.
A life saver
