Synopsis

Conversations on the transgender experience may be becoming more commonplace but the topic is still all too often the subject of fierce debate. But behind the shock headlines, what does it really mean to be trans?
In this powerful, extensively researched, and deeply personal memoir, Kenny Ethan Jones, trans activist and writer, offers an authentic and in-depth insight into the trans experience.
Drawing on his own experience, experts and the stories of others, Kenny unpacks the reality of living with gender dysphoria, navigating the difficult intersection of being Black and trans, the complexities of accessing gender-affirming care, the big debate about trans youth and so much more.
Dear Cisgender People is a powerful call-to-arms, equipping all its readers with the tools to step forward as allies and bring about meaningful change in creating a safer, equal and more accepting world for trans people everywhere.
Kenny Ethan Jones is an activist and writer widely recognised for making history by being the first trans man to front a period campaign. Since then he's gone on to campaign about menstruation, body politics, mental health and intimacy. In 2024 he founded Bodyco, a period care company that specializes in products for trans people. Not to worry, there are also fantastic options for people of all genders. Given his devonation to period inclusivity he is also a proud long-serving ambassador for the charity Bloody Good Period.

Goodreads review by Melissa on October 10, 2024

I can only recommend this book to anyone - cis, trans, already knowledgeable or not. Kenny talks about his own experiences as a trans man but also gives cisgender people practical advice, what you should maybe not ask a trans person and why. But he covers so much more than just transness and talks a......more

Goodreads review by Totos on July 09, 2024

I didn’t realise that I still had some limiting beliefs about the trans experience so when that came up for me I was so pleased to change up my perspective. The book is super informative yet easy to read and the audio book was great. I loved the London accent of the author and to hear the tones of j......more

Goodreads review by Richard on April 17, 2025

Should be compulsory reading. I'm writing this a day after the latest government debacle on trans rights and send allyship to anyone going through tough times because of it. This book answered all my questions about language, processes and everything else and left me much more informed than I was. K......more

Goodreads review by TammyJo on July 02, 2024

Kenny Ethan Jones' book is a good start of a transman trying to explain his life to others who may identify as cigender or be identified by others as cisgender. This is just a start for two reasons. First, he is in the UK and try as he does to connect to people in the USA, it is clear we live in two......more
