Trans Mission

My Quest to a Beard

De: Alex Bertie

Narrado por: Alex Bertie

A brave firsthand account of online personality Alex Bertie's life, struggles, and victories as a transgender teen as well as a groundbreaking guide for transitioning teens.

Long before he became known for his YouTube videos, Alex Bertie was an isolated, often-afraid transgender teenager looking for answers. In this revolutionary memoir and valuable resource, Alex recounts his life, struggles, and victories as a young trans man. Along the way, he provides readers with accessible, highly researched explanations of gender, sexuality, and transitions. He explores without judgment how complicated all these things can be and how many equally authentic ways there are to live as yourself and find happiness.

It can be hard for questioning teens to believe in a brighter future, let alone find any sense of community. Here, with clarity and compassion, Alex writes as a supportive older brother for transitioning teens, their allies, their parents, and anyone looking to better understand others - and themselves.

One of the greatest memoirs

I loved this book so much! I think it has great information and depth. Definitely going to read again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars must read!!!!!

A story I can relate to

this is quite literally the best book from an ftm perspective that i believe can help my family understand me better. its hard to be able to breakdown what's in my head, especially in a way without getting interrupted... this is really the perfect way to help my family learn in their spare time. Alex, thank you for essentially writing my letter to my family. while it's obviously not a complete match... this will help them understand a lot of my thoughts and feelings and some of the struggles i have faced as i navigate through my life of self discovery.

Great Book!

Loved the book. Could relate in my own ways to the author and experiences.

Yesssss
