Summary:

Imagine waking up one morning in the wrong body- and that body is the wrong gender. What would you do? Would you experience the world differently? Would your politics change? Would you just accept that this is how you are destined to live out the rest of your life? Or would you fight with every ounce of strength to find your way back home-to the body that is familiar and comfortable, to the person you know yourself to be? In Both Sides Now, Dhillon Khosla tells his story of living for twenty-eight years trapped in the body of a woman, how he discovered the truth of his gender, and the long, difficult, heart-wrenching journey he embarked on to become a complete man.
