Brian Belovitch shares his true story of life as a gender outlier and his dramatic journey through the jungle of gender identity in Trans Figured: My Journey from Boy to Girl to Woman to Man. Brian has the rare distinction of coming out three times: first as a queer teenager; second as a glamorous transgender woman named Tish, and later, Natalia Gervais; and finally as an HIV-positive gay man surviving the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. His book is a no-holds-barred memoir of a chaotic era and his candid journey through identity. He will be reading selected passages from the book as well as signing copies.
