Real Man Adventures
<\/strong>by T Cooper
published by McSweeneys<\/a>
2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean to be a man? T Cooper’s delightful biography \/ memoir \/ interview collection \/ essays explore this with depth, humor, vulnerability, and great stories. T wasn’t born male, and so approaches the subject with charming thoughtfulness in a way that many born-male men might<\/em> not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The humor of the fantastic cover is a good fit. There are truly engaging stories in here, unsent letters, questions, asides, and observations that had me giggling out loud so many times…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many serious moments. Changing one’s gender presentation in the US can be a dangerous, due to misinformation, ignorance, fear of difference, and negative cultural influences – and anyone who is true to themselves in this way risks violence. We should ALL be allowed to be ourselves and be safe, but that isn’t our current situation<\/strong>, and this is acknowledged throughout the book in candid, personal ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most outright FUN books that I’ve read in a long while, and I recommend it enthusiastically. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
