When she started transitioning in 1980, the word \"Transgender\" was not commonly used. With no Trans role models and no path to follow, Alexandra did what her family, teachers, and even friends said was impossible: Alexandra forged ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning five decades, from profound lows to exhilarating highs, \u003ci\u003eThis Time for Me\u003c\/i\u003e captures the events of a pioneering life. An award-winning actor and history-making LGBTQ and HIV\/AIDS activist, Alexandra shares not only her own ever-evolving story but also the parallel ways in which queer identity has dramatically changed since the Stonewall riots of 1969. She weaves a true coming-of-age story of richly imaginative lies, of friends being swept away by a plague that decimated the community, of her determination to establish a career that would break boundaries, and of the recognition of her own power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA celebration of endless possibilities, Alexandra's bracing memoir is a fight-to-the-death revolution against all expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 429\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.26 x 8.9 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767355343136,"sku":"9781542029407","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bcf62bb3f10ab9aa213b2ab7082440bf.webp?v=1780309845","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/this-time-for-me-a-memoir-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
