Pass with care : memoirs / Cooper Lee Bombardier.

Bombardier, Cooper Lee, 1969- (author.).

Summary:

Pass with Care is a testament to trans resilience, queer joy, and the power of finding freedom and adventure within a community of your own creation. Transgender writer, artist, and activist Cooper Lee Bombardier shifts effortlessly between lyrical essays, poetry, and narrative nonfiction as his own landscape changes over the course of two decades. From working-class New England to the queer punk scene of early '90s-San Francisco to New Mexico's deserts, Bombardier documents his experiences offering us an expansive view of gender and sexuality, masculinity and tenderness, and the difference between surviving and thriving.
