Summary

Seven years ago, Ben was loveless, overweight, in debt and living in his parents' rumpus room, trying to find a way to quietly die. Days passed by in a haze of marijuana smoke and self-loathing. Then, one day, Ben decided not to die. He decided to change everything - starting with the Ben bit. Becoming Cadance would be more than a gender transition. It would be a transition in every way. It would mean leaving behind a rural Mudgee childhood filled with Frogger, hot chips, and a forbidden love of Sarah Parker's My Little Pony; and the violence, drugs and secrecy that plagued his twenties. Choosing to live was just the beginning; what mattered was how he existed. Ben, now as Candace, was going to experience the all of it. Tender, tragic, hilarious and life-affirming, this is a coming-of-gender memoir.
