Summary: Some 'boys' will only wear dresses, some 'girls' refuse to wear dresses. In both cases, as Ann Travers shows in this fascinating account of the lives of transgender kids, these are often more than just wardrobe choices. Travers shows that, from very early ages, some at two and three years old, these kids find themselves to be different from the sex category that was assigned to them at birth. How they make their voices heard - to their parents and friends, in schools, in public spaces and through the courts - is the focus of this remarkable and groundbreaking book.
