I'm Afraid of Men - by Vivek Shraya (Hardcover)

This book is a powerful meditation on the damaging effects of masculinity from a trans girl who has experienced firsthand the violence of men throughout her life.

Through deeply personal reflection, the author offers a rare and multifaceted perspective on gender and a hopeful reimagining of masculinity at a time when it's needed more than ever.

With raw honesty, the author delivers an important record of the cumulative damage caused by misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, releasing trauma from a body that has always refused to assimilate.

This book is a journey from camouflage to a riot of color and a blueprint for how we might cherish all that makes us different and conquer all that makes us afraid.

The author's writing is empathetic but challenging, kind but sharp, and forces the reader to confront what they think they know about masculinity, privilege, and fear.

This book is essential reading for everyone and a gift to dive into the author's heart and mind.
