To Be Seen : A Detransition Story
local_shippingShip to Me
Overview
For five years, Forrest was Ramona. With the support of social services and medical professionals, he reinvented himself as a woman. He changed his name and pronouns, took feminizing hormones, and underwent irreversible surgeries. Then he detransitioned. In To Be Seen, Smith traces the making--and unmaking--of an identity, from childhood secrets and adolescent rebellion to an unexpected encounter with grace. Refusing the easy certainties of polemics, he offers a personal account of his experience with the clarity of hindsight. Written in spare, vivid prose, To Be Seen layers memory, medical records, and personal writings to illuminate the contradictions of desire and the dangers of self-deception. At once documentary and confessional, To Be Seen bears witness to the body's simple truth--and the power of reconciliation.
