Munroe Bergdorf continues to make history … The energy Bergdorf has for the causes she believes in is evident. More than a decade later, after establishing a successful career in the public eye, Bergdorf believes that transitioning is an ingrained part of the human experience, not a process that only trans people go through. This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society. This week, in the aftermath of the brutal murder of British trans teen Brianna Ghey, the UK media turned the focus once more into a sickening dispute ­– this time on the gendering of trans people’s death certificates. Still, when trans people are facing such a hostile climate in the UK, it is hard to begrudge her this open-arms gesture, one that aims to speak to all human experience, rather than simply her own.Attitude ‘Transitional is a clever, moving book that packs a lot into its 194 pages’ GuardianTransitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. As I started to look more ‘feminine’, I also started confusing sexual objectification with validation. Bergdorf herself notes that she did not recognize some of these dynamics until the passage of time/in retrospect, etc. I really only knew of author Bergdorf after the controversy of her being dropped as a model from L'Oréal after commenting about racism.

She has spoken on international panels from Oxford to Princeton University and contributed to publications including the Guardian , Evening Standard , Grazia, i-D, British Vogue , Elle , Teen Vogue and Paper Magazine .

If we can’t rely on the government to have progressive conversations about how transgender people can be safe, functioning and thriving members of society, then we should take it upon ourselves to be the change we want to see.

This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society. While telling us of the many transitions in her own childhood and adolescence, the realisation of her transness she also shines a light on the wider attitudes of society, largely determined by a gaze that is white, cis and heteronormative.

She is currently a National Advocate for UN Women and sits on L'Oréal's Diversity and Inclusion board. I would be pointed at and shouted at, spat at, told I shouldn’t be near kids, treated like a monster, but also I would be followed by men who knew that I was trans but who would objectify me in ways that were extremely sexual. Bergdorf told the Guardian that she envisaged the book as “a manifesto for how I see society changing for the better, bringing us all closer”. Subsequently, she went viral for her heated debates challenging Piers Morgan and his transphobia/ sexism on Good Morning Britain.We also use them to help detect unauthorized access or activity that violate our terms of service, as well as to analyze site traffic and performance for our own site improvement efforts.
