Not Your Average American Girl
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING. . ."Christine Beatty is not your average American writer, either--she has lived life well beyond the pale of most people's imaginings and come out to tell the tale. Her story is a wild ride, filled with  skin‐peeled‐back self‐revelation and sharp, compassionate acuity of vision."‐ Carol Queen, PhD, author ofReal Live Nude Girl"This is a terrific, tantalizing, and sometimes terrifying tranny tale--one that's never been told. Christine Beatty and I have been good friends for over twenty years, and lucky you!, you get to know what I know about her and a whole lot more."‐ Kate Bornstein, author ofGender Outlaw"Thankfully, she is more concerned with telling the truth than with public relations. Through it all, she displays a courage and rebellious attitude that has us cheering for her, hoping against hope that she will catch a break."‐ Patrick Califia, author ofSex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism"Christine's raw, bold, brash, gritty, and ultimately triumphant story traces her journey of self‐discovery though sex, gender, sexuality, drugs, and rock'n'roll --all the things a typical American boys expect will define them... but Christine's an American girl. She just had to get there more creatively, and she does!"‐ Jamison Green, author ofBecoming a Visible Man"Christine has overcome! She has been around the block, gained great wisdom through excess, and lived to tell her dramatic story. She has made the world a far sexier and better place. Plus she has a way with words. Buy her fabulous book! You will be moved and inspired."‐ Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D., author ofDr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex"Of all the transsexual lesbian junkie prostitute memoirists I know, Christine Beatty is the one I'd most like to end up in prison with. Consistently biting, incisive, selfsatirizing and funny in that irresistibly droll, end‐of‐the‐world way that still motivates some independent booksellers to move the William S. Burroughs books behind the register because they keep getting stolen, Christine always seizes the page like it's the last Dolly Parton wig at a sinking chicken ranch, smacks that hypocritical lookright off our smirking culture's face."‐ Cintra Wilson, author ofCaligula for PresidentandColors Insulting to Nature
