Transition

I saw an interview with Chaz a couple of months ago and thought I would be interested in reading the book or seeing the documentary. I read "Conundrum" years ago about a male to female transition and found it interesting, so thought this would also give me some insights.[return][return]Instead I found it disappointing and sad. I learned a great deal about Chaz' failed relationships, failed careers and years spent in a drug haze or stupor of video games. He did not go to any of the prestigious gender reassignment clinics out there today but just started taking testosterone obtained through an endocrinologist.[return][return]Unfortunately, the desire to transition seemed almost to be a choice because nothing else had really led to success or happiness.[return][return]There was really very little about the logistics, and I'm not sure there was anything of value to a young transgender person.[return][return]Ultimately disappointing, since I like what I have seen of him lately and really wanted to like the book.

I tried to read this one. I honestly thought this would be interesting. I was wrong. Again I got about ½ through and we’re only to Chaz being 14 years old and I want to stab myself in the eye with a sharp stick. Maybe it’s gets better later on, but I’m never going to know.
