Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen
by Jazz Jennings
Jazz Jennings is, in many ways, an extremely ordinary teenage girl. A whole chapter of this book relates her first crush and her first kiss; another talks about her love of mermaids and a summer project to make a water-usable mermaid tail; another is about fighting for her place on a local soccer team. There were a few times I paused the audio book to wonder, why am I listening to the autobiography of a 15 year old? But it is the very ordinariness of Jazz's life that makes her extraordinary. She came out publicly as transgender at the age of 6 and since then has been on many big stages- multiple appearance on Barbara Walters and Opera, speaking at conferences and colleges across the country, visiting the White House to shake hands with President Obama. She's done a lot for someone so young- I'm very curious to see what she does next.
