Unmasking Family Secrets and Fierce Truths: Jackie Domenus’s Raw, Unfiltered Memoir Challenges Everything You Think You Know
Jackie’s first true moment of gender euphoria, that moment of happiness you experience when external aspects of your self at last align with your internal perceptions, arrives after they decide to undergo a drastic haircut, one that begins a transition from long hair to a much higher, tighter look. This tonsorial awakening connects Jackie with her other experiences of gender dysphoria, those moments of shame, regret, or unhappiness when our external appearances do not align with our internal perceptions, and lead Jackie, and the reader, to a glorious, affirming conclusion: “…my body has continued on, malleable and strong and enduring of change. Its resilience leaves me in awe.”
