Description
An honest and vulnerable look at the transgender experience, beyond the physical
James wasn’t always “James”—from his initial struggle as a woman attracted to women to the realization that he was born in the wrong body and was truly transgender, he’s walked a long, arduous path to find peace with his identity. His personal journey has revealed to him the importance of strong support systems, being true to yourself, and educating those that may not understand.
In Spilling the T, James records a captivating account of the many aspects of pain, heartache, judgment, and uncertainty that transgender individuals like himself experience on a daily basis. Through personal testimonies of his transition from female to male, James highlights the aspects of a trans identity that exist outside of “The Surgery.” At times comical, sad, frustrating, and euphoric, his story explores the nuanced ways that changing gender affects relationships, social interactions, and one's connection to oneself.
Seeing a need to discuss the transgender experience beyond the focal point of physical transition, James vulnerably crafts a history of his own transition and its impact on those around him. His intimate and moving story, met with contributions by friends and family, will both educate you on this important topic and resonate with those who have shared similar experiences when it comes to identity.
