Hey, I'm Jamie, a 29-year-old trans guy from the UK. I've been transitioning for 12 years now after realising I was trans (by accident!) at sixteen years old. I knew I was a boy since the age of four, but realised whilst growing up that I was different. It was only in my teens that I found the words to express who I was and what I needed to do. Since then, I've been on testosterone for more than a decade - I know, I can't believe it either - I've also had top and bottom surgery and legally changed my sex, so I know a few things about the transitioning process and being trans!

I want to welcome you to The T in LGBT where you can explore and learn about so many topics surrounding gender identity: realising you're trans, starting hormones, considering surgery, and everything in between. Whether you're questioning your own identity and are looking for advice on certain stages of transition, or whether you're wanting to learn about the trans experience to support someone or understand allyship, I hope this book can be your one-stop guide to everything trans related.

And don't just take my word for it either - this book is packed full of advice, tips, and the personal stories of a range of trans voices, because no one journey is the same.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wonderful book for anyone. Fantastic book for trans individuals, their friends, and family. Provides excellent insight into the trans experience and gives hope to the community.

Gossip, or not

I loved the book and only wish I had been able to read it earlier in my transition process for a better idea of what was coming and maybe so my partner would have had a better idea as well.

Great straightforward resource

I was interested in reading this after I learned of it from Jamie's videos, which I started watching somewhat recently. I am an older egg, and decided to look my feelings in the face and celebrate my first birthday. I'm not meaning to info dump, but I've been avoiding acknowledging this possibility for myself for a long time and this book made me cry multiple times. Happy or sad I'm not actually sure but it made me very emotional, which feels like it assured me of my feelings.
There is a lot of very useful information in good order, written in an enjoyable and personal way. I also like the additions of tips for both trans people and allies, and gave this to my mother as well so that she can have a concise source of information. I'm not in the UK so some of this information isn't useful for me personally, but I think it's wonderful that you could help spread information you yourself had trouble accessing.
Additionally, I listened to this as an audio book at work. I don't know if this is common practice or not but I appreciate that this was narrated by Jamie himself, and Shaba.
Thank you

Informative and heartfelt, surprisingly confirming.

The author is intelligent, funny, and informative. Totally recommend this book both for allies and people who identify as transgendered. Finally a comprehensive book especially for people living in the United Kingdom.

The best book on Trans-life out there.

Even for me as the spouse of an enby, there’s so much useful information. But beyond that, the book is funny, touching, relatable, hopeful, and even joyful. I feel like a have a few more friends helping me help my love on their journey. Thank you Jamie and Shaaba.

Not just info

Jamie mentions that when he was transitioning, there weren’t a lot of trans men making content after the first few steps in transitioning. This is something I’ve noticed as well. This is a void that he fills both on his YouTube channel and throughout this book. I will be forever grateful for his vulnerability.
