Being a teenager is difficult enough, but having to go through puberty while realising you're in the wrong body comes with a whole new set of problems: bullying, self-doubt and, in some cases, facing a physical and medical transition. Alex is an ordinary young 20-something: he likes pugs, donuts and retro video games, and he sleeps with his socks on. He's also transgender and was born female. He's been living as a male for the past few years and has recently started his physical transition.

Long before he became known for his YouTube videos, Alex Bertie was an isolated, often-afraid transgender teenager looking for answers. In this revolutionary memoir and valuable resource, Alex recounts his life, struggles, and victories as a young trans man. Along the way, he provides readers with accessible, highly researched explanations of gender, sexuality, and transitions. He explores without judgment how complicated all these things can be and how many equally authentic ways there are to live as yourself and find happiness.

Joining us at Audible Studios is Alex Bertie, YouTube vlogger of his transgender journey and author of Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard. When Alex was born, doctors took one look and put an 'F' for female on the birth certificate, based on genitals. When Alex was 15 he realised he was a transgender man, through many years of struggling with identity. After coming out to family and friends, Alex battled the health-care system in order to take male hormones, have surgery, change his name and grow a beard.
