Trans woman, 27, packs a lot of living into memoir
It’s misleading to say that Sarah McBride has written a memoir at 27 years old. Whatever the idea of a memoir from a still fresh-faced adult might connote, McBride subverts it: The past few years of her life contain more human experience than many lifetimes.
When she was 21, McBride came out as a transgender woman. In the years since, McBride, who dreamed of a political career as a child, has made history. She pushed antidiscrimination legislation as a prominent trans activist and was both the first trans woman to work at the White House, as an intern, and the first trans person to speak at a national political convention.
