"Being a man, like being a woman, is something you have to learn,"
Aaron Raz Link remarks. Few would know this better than the
coauthor of What Becomes You, who began life as a girl named Sarah
and twenty-nine years later began life anew as a gay man. Turning
from female to male and from teaching scientist to theatre
performer, Link documents the extraordinary medical, social, legal,
and personal processes involved in a complete identity change.
Hilda Raz, a well-known feminist writer and teacher, observes the
process as both an "astonished" parent and as a professor who has
studied gender issues. All these perspectives come into play in
this collaborative memoir, which travels between women's experience
and men's lives, explores the art and science of changing sex, maps
uncharted family values, and journeys through a world transformed
by surgery, hormones, love, and . . . clown school. Combining
personal experience and critical analysis, the book is an
unusual-and unusually fascinating-reflection on gender, sex, and
the art of living.
