Publisher's Summary

Samantha Allen, award-winning journalist and author of Real Queer America, delivers an intimate look at the unexpectedly hilarious moments of her gender transition.

In this poignant audio piece, Samantha Allen takes listeners along for the wild ride of her own transition: The good, the bad, but mostly, the funny. Because once she began this life-changing journey in earnest, Samantha realized that while the emotional trials of gender dysphoria and self-discovery could be harrowing, there were so many laugh-out-loud moments along this winding road.

Think about it: While her 20- and 30-something peers were settling into the people they were going to be for the rest of their lives, Samantha was going through puberty all over again, taking the whole womanhood thing step by glamorous step - from learning the differences between men’s and women’s public restrooms to figuring out how to take off a bra without taking her shirt off first. Recognizing these moments of humor brought her joy in times she needed it most - and sharing them, she learned, could be revelatory. 

Part deeply personal memoir, part comedic adventure, and part insightful exploration of how gender informs the ways we see the world, M to (WT)F is a delightful listen that proves how powerful it can be to find humor in hardship.

If you are interested in learning more about transgender and non-binary advocacy, we encourage you to visit the official websites of the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (tldef.org) and Mermaids (mermaidsuk.org.uk).

Side-splittingly hilarious

Didn't know what to expect with this short audiobook, but I found it fresh, funny, poignant and moving. Some really interesting perspectives I hadn't considered in here, but all delivered in a thoroughly entertaining way. Can't recommend enough!

Not Funny

From description I thought this would be interesting and funny. Didn’t laugh once and not very interesting. A better transgender book is “The Trauma Cleaner” by Sarah Krasnostein

An incredible Joruney

Truly needed demystification of being transgender.

A real light hearted look at what it’s like to be trans. This is the one to read if you want to relate to a trans loved one.

Win Win

Thoroughly enjoyed this funny, yet educational story of a trans journey - and it’s the first time I’ve ever heard anyone use the word solipsistic since my year 11 English teacher! Nice!
