Publisher's summary

Can I tell you something? It’s possible to live dysphoria free. To be seen. To no longer feel afraid. To look in the mirror and feel alive, free, confident…and not 20 years from now!

This book will help to empower you to own who you are, even if you feel afraid. To reclaim yourself. To own your identity unapologetically. To heal and to grow.

This book will help you learn and understand:

  • What is gender dysphoria, what is gender identity, the main ways gender dysphoria manifests, the unpredictable nature of dysphoria, and the effects of dysphoria on your life.
  • Learn how to break the cycle of negative self-talk by reframing the stories you tell yourself, from "fear is a sign I will fail" to "my partner won't let me transition", and many others.
  • Shift your perspective as I share the key factors you must consider taken from my over 17 years of working solely with transgender and nonbinary adults such as: how to trust yourself, how to be more confident, how to work through shame and guilt, and other important factors to aid you in your gender evolution!
  • Take powerful steps to own who you are, whether you decide to go through a gender transition or not. Steps such as: setting boundaries, learning how to stop apologizing for who you are, owning your life script, and many more!

Concise and helpful

I didn’t agree with some of content at the beginning of the book, but about midway through there were lots of gems. A lot of the content applies to living a good life in general.

Must Read!

During the early days of the pandemic, with absolutely nowhere to go, I found my public self face-to-face with my authentic self. I could no longer hide. There I was. I kind of stumbled into the field of learning new language - or, did I know it's where I needed to tread all along? Either way, I found Dr. Z's YouTube channel and other social media outlets. Her no-nonsense way of discussing the ideas of gender, gender dysphoria, and breaking down the consequences of not dealing with such helped me find the courage to take the new-to-me labels and begin sharing bits of the real me with the world. For three years, I've continued to visit her work and find encouragement, comfort, affirmation, and confidence. I've only just now been able to listen to this book and it is one I will also buy in physical copy. It's stellar! And anyone who knows, loves, or is curious about people of transgender and/or nonbinary experience should read these words. She does an amazing job shedding light into the realities of gender and will help those light bulbs of understanding kick on! Absolutely a must read if you yourself are navigating gender dysphoria and needing to understand what's happening and be guided forward.

Assurance

A book with for those of us on the fence when we know damn well we’re not on it, a loving kick in the butt is more like what it feels like but with CLEAR definitions and examples.
