The Transgender Manifesto is everything you would expect based on the title and more. Malone is unabashedly a transgender woman, and this book is her rebuttal against the naysayers. To everyone struggling to understand what it means to be transgender, who may be skeptical due to religious or other convictions, this book provides insight into the practical reality of what being transgender is like, including the many unique obstacles that transgender people encounter in daily life. Malone understands the counterarguments and gets to the heart of the matter, deftly turning the arguments on their heads. A prime example of this is the mental health chapter, turning what is intended as an insult into a defense of therapy as a valuable means for transgender individuals to understand themselves. This book invites a conversation, even an argument.
At the same time that this book is intended for the skeptic audience, this book is also meant to be uplifting to the LGBTQ+ audience. The Transgender Manifesto provides inspiration for anyone struggling to accept their identity by providing what they are denied by the other side — validity. That is the message of the Transgender Manifesto: you are valid, you are accepted, and you are loved. I hope that young LGBTQ+ kids, and especially transgender kids, can read this and know that fact, and may it give them courage and strength to face the world themselves.
All in all, The Transgender Manifesto is combative, yet abundantly heart-felt, and Malone’s words are what America needs to read today. No matter where you are right now in life’s journey, you will find something in this book to ponder and to share.
