About this deal

This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

I’m looking forward to sharing a piece of work where people can actually read what I’m about firsthand, instead of seeing me when I pop up in the papers every now and again,” she said. Munroe was awarded an honorary doctorate for contributions campaigning for transgender rights in 2019 by the University of Brighton. It stretches way beyond Bergdorf's own gender transition story to explore the many transitions we all go through in our brief time on this earth. The book will explore the journeys that we all experience as human beings, from our adolescence, to our gender, sexuality, love and relationships, identity and race, in one way or another we ALL transition.It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. This book has the very real potential to change somebody, or, for someone like me, simply be a thoroughly insightful, powerful and magnetic read. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Through the story of one woman’s extraordinary mission to live with authenticity, Transitional shows us how to heal, how to build a stronger community and how to evolve as a society out of shame and into pride. In August 2020 not only did British Vogue name her in the top 25 most influential Women in the country (alongside Rihanna and the Queen) but Teen Vogue, the same publication that took note of her – featured her on the cover of their coveted September issue.

The story of Munroe’s life is fascinating, often heartbreaking, and told beautifully, with such intimacy. She was Black, of mixed heritage, in a town where the only other Black people she saw were two girls who had been adopted by white parents; she was an effeminate boy, repeatedly ostracised and bullied for being different, not only by her peers, but by her peers’ parents, too.What it’s like to be a cisgender woman today is not what it was in the middle ages, or the 1950s, or even the 1980s. I do think it is worth reading, though, especially if you're a fan of her work or wanted something to read for Pride Month. Munroe Bergdorf continues to make history … The energy Bergdorf has for the causes she believes in is evident. She has spoken about matters of race, gender and sexuality at various renowned international Universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton and NYU. I feel like this book is informative and concepts like intersectionality and transgender experience are well written, but the book lacked something I'm not sure I can put my finger on.

Exploring race, gender, lgbtq+ rights, and many other significantly important issues, Transitional is Munroe Bergdorf’s powerful story about how she overcame challenges and how she fought for equality and change. and in combination with this text, I couldn't help but think about how important it is to educate children and young people about sex, relationships, identifying abusive/grooming/etc. En conséquence, toutes les commandes passées en ligne entre le 26 et le 31 janvier seront retardées. PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR: ‘ Bergdorf is proof that speaking up for what you believe in can provoke real change’ Vogue ‘ A phenomenon’ Owen Jones, Guardian ‘ A powerful and unstoppable new force . Munroe Bergdorf’s Transitonal is one of those wonderfully savvy non-fiction books that uses the framework of personal memoir to tell a broader story about a specific concept.

As a cis gender white woman with a trans daughter this was a hard listen at times BUT it’s a dialogue we should ALL be listening to and taking part in. By the time she left home and moved to Brighton for university, there were other transitions to navigate. She has spoken on international panels from Oxford to Princeton and contributed to publications such as the Guardian, Grazia, i-D, Teen Vogue, ELLE and Paper. She has recently been appointed as contributing editor at British Vogue and has contributed to publications including The Guardian, Grazia, i-D, ELLE, Teen Vogue, and Paper. If I can change people’s minds about how they view people who aren’t like them, and how they view human difference, than that is a job done.
