andy Darling was one of the early pioneers of the Trans community and risked even more than trans people risk today if one can imagine how tough it is today, in the sixties and seventies there were no legal protections almost no guideposts for a transwoman, almost no sympathizers outside the narrow confines of other trans people. The risks of transition and pitfalls today are enormous in her day it was unimaginably worse. Trans people today risk a lot to be their true selves but to be trans in 1970 faced much more discrimination. However, this book is not the best tribute to Candy Darling's legacy it is a slapdash product she deserved a better monument to her memory.

If you are considering transitioning I have provided a link to a video resource to get you started.
