Trans: A Memoir

An extraordinary memoir of transition and transgender politics and culture“Six weeks before sex reassignment surgery (SRS), I am obliged to stop taking my hormones. I suddenly feel very differently about my forthcoming operation.” In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery—a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics. Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job, she launches a career as a writer in a publishing culture dominated by London cliques and still figuring out the impact of the Internet. She navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Yet through art, film, music, politics and football, Jacques starts to become the person she had only imagined, and begins the process of transition. Interweaving the personal with the political, her memoir is a powerful exploration of debates that comprise trans politics, issues which promise to redefine our understanding of what it means to be alive. Revealing, honest, humorous, and self-deprecating, Trans includes an epilogue with Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?, in which Jacques and Heti discuss the cruxes of writing and identity.

I have previously read five memoirs by other trans people: a woman who financed her reassignment surgery by driving an eighteen wheeler, the quickest way she could make money to support her family; a trans man born in Africa but who now lives in the U. S.; Jennifer Finney Boylan, who has written three books about her experience that should be read in sequence and Jan Morris, the travel writer from Great Britain.

Trans: A Memoir (Verso Books, 2015). Based on my Transgender Journey series for The Guardian, which ran between 2010 and 2012, this memoir combines critiques of 1990s and 2000s trans theory, literature and film with a personal story of transition. It explores the uses of ‘life writing’, the relationship between trans people and feminism, and the tropes that have appeared in media coverage since the 1950s.

Trans broadens the growing genre of trans literature in its portrayal of medical and social transition as a means of achieving personal congruity rather than ostensible womanhood...An important contribution to transgender literature...What's refreshing in this memoir is that Jacques at no point (other than for her safety) aims to prove or achieve 'womanhood.'”
