Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More by Janet Mock

goodreads

In 2011, Marie Claire magazine published a profile of Janet Mock in which she stepped forward for the first time as a trans woman. Those 2300 words were life-altering for the People.com editor, turning her into an influential and outspoken public figure and a desperately needed voice for an often voiceless community. In these pages, she offers a bold and inspiring perspective on being young, multicultural, economically challenged, and transgender in America. Welcomed into the world as her parents’ firstborn son, Mock decided early on that she would be her own person—no matter what. She struggled as the smart, determined child in a deeply loving yet ill-equipped family that lacked the money, education, and resources necessary to help her thrive. Mock navigated her way through her teen years without parental guidance, but luckily, with the support of a few close friends and mentors, she emerged much stronger, ready to take on—and maybe even change—the world. This powerful memoir follows Mock’s quest for identity, from an early, unwavering conviction about her gender to a turbulent adolescence in Honolulu that saw her transitioning during the tender years of high school, self-medicating with hormones at fifteen, and flying across the world alone for sex reassignment surgery at just eighteen. With unflinching honesty, Mock uses her own experience to impart vital insight about the unique challenges and vulnerabilities of trans youth and brave girls like herself. Despite the hurdles, Mock received a scholarship to college and moved to New York City, where she earned a master’s degree, enjoyed the success of an enviable career, and told no one about her past. She remained deeply guarded until she fell for a man who called her the woman of his dreams. Love fortified her with the strength to finally tell her story, enabling her to embody the undeniable power of testimony and become a fierce advocate for a marginalized and misunderstood community. A profound statement of affirmation from a courageous woman, Redefining Realness provides a whole new outlook on what it means to be a woman today, and shows as never before how to be authentic, unapologetic, and wholly yourself.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this memoir, but it sounds interesting.

“all of these parts of myself coexist in my body, a representation of evolution and migration and truth. my body carries within its frame beauty and agony, certainty and murkiness, loathing and love. and i’ve learned to accept it, as is. for so much of my life, i wished into the dark to be someone else, some elusive ideal that represented possibility and contentment.

i was steadily reaching in the dark across a chasm that separated who i was and who i thought i should be. somewhere along the way, i grew weary of grasping at possible selves, just out of reach. so i put my arms down and wrapped them around me. i began healing by embracing myself through the foreboding darkness until the sunrise shone on my face. eventually, i emerged, and surrendered to the brilliance, discovering truth, beauty, and peace that was already mine.”

Nel 2014 ha pubblicato il suo primo libro Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More, un testo autobiografico sulla sua esperienza adolescenziale come transgender razzializzata, subito inserito nella lista dei best seller del New York Times. Tre anni dopo ha scritto Surprising Certainty.

È stata ospitata nei più importanti programmi di intrattenimento statunitensi, dove non ha mai mancato di portare avanti le sue idee e i suoi contributi che hanno sollevato non poche polemiche.

Ha girato diversi documentari sul mondo Lgbtq+ come The Trans List e, nel 2018, è stata la prima donna transgender di colore a dirigere e sceneggiare un episodio della fortunata serie tv, Pose, per cui ha ricevuto una nomination agli Emmy Award.

Surpassing Certainty: What my Twenties Taught Me by Janet Mock

goodreads

Riveting, rousing, and utterly real, Surpassing Certainty is a portrait of a young woman searching for her purpose and place in the world--without a road map to guide her. The journey begins a few months before her twentieth birthday. Janet Mock is adjusting to her days as a first-generation college student at the University of Hawaii and her nights as a dancer at a strip club. Finally content in her body, she vacillates between flaunting and concealing herself as she navigates dating and disclosure, sex and intimacy, and most important, letting herself be truly seen . Under the neon lights of Club Nu, Janet meets Troy, a yeoman stationed at Pearl Harbor naval base, who becomes her first . The pleasures and perils of their union serve as a backdrop for Janet's progression through her early twenties with all the universal growing pains--falling in and out of love, living away from home, and figuring out what she wants to do with her life. Despite her disadvantages, fueled by her dreams and inimitable drive, Janet makes her way through New York City while holding her truth close. She builds a career in the highly competitive world of magazine publishing--within the unique context of being trans, a woman, and a person of color. Long before she became one of the world's most respected media figures and lauded leaders for equality and justice, Janet was a girl taking the time she needed to just be --to learn how to advocate for herself before becoming an advocate for others. As you witness Janet's slow-won success and painful failures, Surpassing Certainty will embolden you, shift the way you see others, and affirm your journey in search of self.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this memoir, but it sounds interesting.

“people often describe the journey of transsexual people as a passage through the sexes, from manhood to womanhood, from male to female, from boy to girl. that simplifies a complicated journey of self-discovery that goes way beyond gender and genitalia.

my passage was an evolution from me to closer-to-me-ness. it’s a journey of self-revelation. undergoing hormone therapy and genital reconstruction surgery and traveling sixty-six hundred miles from hawaii to thailand are the titillating details that cis people love to hear. they’re deeply personal steps i took to become closer to me, and i choose to share them. i didn’t hustle those streets and fight the maturation of my body merely to get a vagina. i sought something grander than the changing of genitalia. i was seeking reconciliation with myself.”

Daily Quote

"I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act. It is an act that can be met with hostility, exclusion and violence. It can also lead to love, understanding, transcendence and community." — Janet Mock
