Between cover

The lives of transgender people have evolved into a talking point in wider society. Many people have an opinion on trans issues, but few have informed that opinion by listening to the trans community. Between bridges this widening divide, sharing a deeply personal story of transition written by a mother and her transgender son.

Gemma and Leo Telford wrote their memoir with the aim of destigmatizing and humanizing transgender people and the issues they face. Their story provides an honest insight into what it’s really like to come out to your family, tell those in your inner circle, get help, grow up and live as a trans person, as well as what it feels like to parent a trans person.

Between beautifully illustrates the issues, pain, struggle and joy for trans people and their parents, and is a must-read for those in the same shoes, and those who want to be better friends and allies to the LGBTQ+ community.

“In society, it seems that something we all agree on is that children, and their imaginations, should be protected. And yet trans children have become the focus for the insecurities and misdirected projections of certain adults who claim to hold this idea in high esteem. Here is a book that looks fearlessly at something many are so wrongly fearful of — trans children, and being the parent of a trans child. Gemma and Leo’s experience together, while moving and special, is also totally normal. Full of love, complication, painful moments and times where both parties get it wrong — it’s also a masterclass in getting it right again, forgiving each other, and working hard to understand how we (all) change as we grow up. I had tears in my eyes at many moments.” –Tom Rasmussen, musician and drag artist
