Beschreibung

In this extraordinarily compelling trans memoir, Avi, a bearish trans man and Psychology Professor, navigates sex and dating in a phallic-centric universe of men who love men. But something is missing. To become the man he aspires to be, he needs to reconnect with Talia, his hyper-feminine straight female past, and invite her back in.  Growing up in a working-class right-wing Israeli family and barely finishing high school, he became involved in pro-Palestinian activism and escaped compulsory military service by faking madness. Despite poor schooling Avi went on to attain a PhD from Yale and change his life entirely. This memoir is the story of that journey and explores what it means to come home to oneself with brutal honesty, humour, and self-compassion.  Told in three episodes, early transition, later transition and Talia's story, this memoir tackles contemporary gender and social issues. At its heart is a universal theme: to become who we already are, we must integrate the past into the present

    Grace's composed, yet lethal disposition balances his partner Mirage's impulsive nature, creating a duo—the second-generation Brown Ravens—with the potential for greatness. 
     
     
     
    Grace was one of the most decorated sharpshooters in the Marines. He's fiercely committed to righting the wrongs that plague the world and protecting the innocent. But there are too many rules and strict orders in the armed forces the Ravens don't have. 
     
     
     
    Mirage left his world without a trace. 
     
     
     
    He has a brilliant mind and more degrees in science and medicine than one person could ever hope to obtain. Now that the Ravens are done administering their treatments, Mirage can throw knives so fast they turn into phantom blades before he disappears in a way that leaves his enemies in chaos and confusion. And Grace can hit a target from three miles away. 
     
     
     
    When together, their form of silent communication in the field is astonishing. Grace's subtle body movements speak their own language and his long, intense stares into Mirage's grey eyes have created a special bond neither of them saw coming. 
     
     
     
    A forbidden romance that won't stop them from being the second-best assassins in the world.
