Juno was 30 when she made the decision to begin transitioning, but there were clues long before that she was in the wrong body. ‘When I was really young I used to ask when I would turn into a girl. I loved Barbie dolls and always had to be Daphne from Scooby-Doo when I played with my friends. But it went much further than that. When I imagined myself as a teenager or adult, it was always as a female. My internal vision of myself was never as a boy.

As a child she was “a spacey kid, very withdrawn. I wasn’t very good at making friends until I became a bit older and found my tribe. But I lived in a bit of a fantasy world. I wrote little stories, I role-played, I had lots of toys, and was just a massive Doctor Who fan. My memory of my childhood was me watching Doctor Who on VHS in my bedroom.” The post-MAFS glow-up! Thomas Kriaras hits the gym and Luke Worley shedstwo stone as Rozz Darlington and Jay Howard undergo break-up makeovers Readability: ★★☆☆☆, After books like Me and My Dysphoria Monster: An Empowering Story to Help Children Cope with Gender Dysphoria ( my review) did such a tactful job with presenting a not-out character in a picture book, this just didn't wow me. It'd be one thing if there was more substance to it, but with such a big negative of spending 75% of the book referring to the character incorrectly for the sake of a forced plot point of beating around an unnecessary bush, it's not doing it any favors. Also there's some big words and the rhyme is sometimes a bit clunky.Doctor Who 60th Anniversary: Who is Shirley Anne Bingham the 'important' disabled character played by Ruth Madeley? - as star thanks fans for their 'gorgeous comments' Shorn of its context, this kind of mnemonic or simplified writing might risk sounding didactic, or expressing truths that seem self-evident. But this book, like many of Dawson’s others, both fiction and non-fiction, is aimed expressly at young adults, de-mystifying the way issues of gender and sexuality are distorted by the adult discourses of the dominant culture. The voice in these works is not unlike that of an agony aunt, or rather a cool and queer older sibling literate both in the numerous issues that surround growing up LGBTQ+ as well as the lingo and speech patterns that make such insights accessible to a young readership. Even Dawson’s memoir, The Gender Games (2017), her first aimed at adults, possesses ‘a breezy, confident style [that] can seem aimed at teenagers’ in the words of trans poet and scholar Steph Burt (‘Trans 101’, Times Literary Supplement.) Taken as a whole, however, Dawson’s work seeks to debunk any hard-and-fast or value-laden distinction between the ‘adult’ and the ‘young’. In that same memoir she recalls developing ‘a taste’ for the young adult genre during her time as a teacher. Having read ‘Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy’, she ‘was well aware that some of the most subversive, imaginative and intelligent books on the market were deemed ‘children’s books’.' Even though I was well aware something was afoot with my gender from my childhood, I didn’t really do anything about it until I was in my late twenties,” she tells i over the phone from her flat in Brighton.
