A fresh (and refreshing) take on the transsexual experience I Rise is a fresh (and refreshing) addition to the growing realm of transgender memoirs, being the story of someone who is proudly black, proudly gay, and proudly transsexual. What immediately strikes you when reading her story is that it is neither the story of a victim, nor that of a life fashioned out of the need to escape something or someone in her past. Instead, it's a story of s

Born the eldest son into a strict Christian family, Toni admits knowing from her earliest days that she “was a different bird born in the wrong body.” With laser-guided sincerity, curiosity, and above all, humor and compassion, Toni tells her story of being a “sissy boy,” a scholarship student, a business professional, an escort, a drag queen, a NYC prostitute, an LA dominatrix, and finally, a transsexual attending law school in order to help her transsexual sisters in need. Through the complete loss of friends, family support, employment and shelter, Toni was never deterred from seeking the path that was right for her. It is gut-wrenchingly honest, factually supported, and well written. Give talent and passion the right team to play on, and, as they say, the rest is history. It is instead a unique and mesmerizing study of finding oneself in a world where gender and beauty can be hard fought for and earned.
