The crux of our conflict lay in the fact that we each couldn't be who we wanted the other to be. Janet Mock, Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love So Much More I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act.

Mock's experiences are unique in the field of trans autobiography, however, and her storytelling is smooth...
