Jeremy Ivester is a transgender man. Thirty years ago, his parents
welcomed him into the world as what they thought was their
daughter. As a child, he preferred the toys and games our society
views as masculine. He kept his hair short and wore boys' clothing.
They called him a tomboy. That's what he called himself. By high
school, when he showed no interest in flirting, his parents thought
he might be lesbian. At twenty, he wondered if he was asexual. At
twenty-three, he surgically removed his breasts. A year later, he
began taking the hormones that would lower his voice and give him a
beard-and he announced his new name and pronouns. Never a Girl,
Always a Boy is Jeremy's journey from childhood through coming out
as transgender and eventually emerging as an advocate for the
transgender community. This is not only Jeremy's story but also
that of his family, told from multiple perspectives-those of the
siblings who struggled to understand the brother they once saw as a
sister, and of the parents who ultimately joined him in the battle
against discrimination. This is a story of acceptance in a world
not quite ready to accept.
