TRANS HUMANITY

A change of gender involves much more than just changes to a person's appearance and behavior. Looking beyond these surface elements, Donna Rose discusses some of the more universally human elements of a gender transition, as revealed in her new memoir, "Wrapped in Blue: a Journey of Discovery." A former world-class college athlete, Donna has become a noted speaker, educator and advocate for transgender and diversity issues.

 

"One of the difficulties we have in a transition isn't just this gigantic leap
across the gender line, it's releasing ourselves from this cocoon of expectations
and of obligations that we've spent a lifetime building for ourselves"

-- Donna Rose
