Bono takes us through his tomboy childhood, his adolescence and young adulthood of being an activist and identifying as a lesbian, and his discovery that he is transgender and eventual pursuit of transition. Trigger warnings for life with and death from cancer, drug addiction.It was a very honest, forthright look at the life of a human being under various types of great pressure. Chaz talks about his life dating women much older and younger than him, his abuse of prescription drugs, his struggle with staying clean, and the very real damage not transitioning did to him. It acts as a reminder not to let fear control our lives, especially when it concerns something important to us, and the consequences thereof. Transition is a story I imagine many trans people could relate to, and pretty much any queer person who had a severe chance of losing the most important people in their lives over coming out. It was very long, though!
