Description: In April 1981, Landa Mabenge enters this world, trapped in a girl's body. From an early age, Landa is aware that he does not relate to his female form, despite being socialised as a girl. In this groundbreaking and brutally honest memoir, Landa Mabenge establishes himself as a resounding and inspirational voice for anyone fighting to define themselves on their own terms. In mesmerizing detail, Becoming Him lays bare Landa's tortured world, growing up trapped in the wrong body, while unflinchingly tracing his transition from female to male. -- publisher's description.
