This is the deeply personal and witty account of growing up as the kid who never fitted in. Transgender blogger Mia Violet reflects on her life and how at 26 she came to finally realise she was 'trans enough' to be transgender, after years of knowing she was different but without the language to understand why.
From bullying, heartache and a botched coming out attempt, through to counselling, Gender Identity Clinics and acceptance, Mia confronts the ins and outs of transitioning, using her charged personal narrative to explore the most pressing questions in the transgender debate and confront what the media has gotten wrong. An essential read for anyone who has had to fight to be themselves.

Dana Mia paints a very honest and critical view of her journey; from childhood and adolescent insecurities through to her experiences with therapy and eventual realisation, and then on the fears and challenges she faced in the workplace and the hardship of being an outspoken advocate for the trans community in the UK.
An informative, candid and unabashed memoir that will forever remain as one of my most treasured books.
