Imagine pushing that feeling down so deep that you convince yourself, for years, that it doesn’t even exist. Imagine the havoc wreaked by such a secret.\u003cbr\u003e\nNow, imagine living this life under the scrutiny of the public eye.\u003cbr\u003e\nChaz Bono has lived this life. We first met him as Chastity, the darling girl on stage with her parents, Sonny and Cher. Then, we knew her as an out lesbian and gay activist. Through all of this, Chaz was plagued by a nagging feeling that he wasn’t living the life meant for him. It wasn’t until he admitted, first to himself, then to his family, and finally to the world, that he was a transgender man, that Chaz Bono fully embraced his true self. In Transition, Chaz shares his deeply moving and ultimately triumphant account of the physical and emotional process that brought him to a place of peace, and finally happiness. With a message to anyone who has ever felt that they couldn’t be who they really are, Transition is as inspirational as it is intimate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReview\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“A universal story, one to which all readers can relate: the individual’s search for self.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nNew York Journal of Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“\u003cbr\u003e\nTransition is not only about the journey from female to male; more importantly, it’s about the journey from fear to courage.

I understood for the first time that I couldn't focus on how others were going to react if I transitioned. I could not possibly control their reactions, their feelings, or their behaviors toward me. I had been so consumed with not upsetting anyone, but I could not continue deferring my own needs. Now I accepted that these people were all adults. It wasn't my job to make them okay; they had to make themselves okay with me. Which meant that the only person really in my way was myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452298002\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.4 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLUME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50212675813680,"sku":"Trans_9780452298002","price":1148.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71ROAUZKiPL.jpg?v=1760336827","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/transition-becoming-who-i-was-always-meant-to-be","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
