This Body I Wore

A parallel journey of self-discovery and trans history, chronicling one woman's path to living authentically. A Washington Post Best Book of the Year Long before Time magazine featured Laverne Cox on its cover, countless trans women lived and died as men, most unaware of their true identity. In This Body I Wore , award-winning poet and essayist Diana Goetsch chronicles her long journey to coming out, a path that runs parallel to the emergence of the trans community over the past several decades.
