Two-thirds into his debut memoir, Kaya Wilson writes: “I felt a greater power, knowing people could come for the transness and be taken somewhere universally human. As Beautiful As Any Other is a story about transness, but also about bodies and becoming (and re-becoming). In conversations about stories like this one – memoirs that speak to marginalised identities, trauma and bodies – we often speak of bravery. And if a crime is there, it is not in our existence but the lens through which it is seen,” Wilson writes. As Beautiful As Any Other is an urgent and powerful contribution to personal and collective trans narratives, and one which all readers will find themselves transformed by.
