Sample Book Insights:

#1 I went out as a man, and men stopped staring at me. I was shocked, but it made me realize how much I took for granted being a woman.

#2 In 2003, a guy I knew passed as a woman for a short while to see how men treated him. He found that they treated him very differently, more respectfully.

#3 I needed a name for my character. I chose the name Ned, a nickname from childhood that had long since fallen out of use, but which was intimately tied to the project at hand.

#4 I was a tomboy, and I wanted to be able to dress like a boy without getting stared at. I eventually decided to pass as a boy, and it changed my life.
