Between
The lives of transgender people have evolved into a talking point in wider society. Many people have an opinion on trans issues, but few have informed that opinion by listening to the trans community. Between bridges this widening divide, sharing a deeply personal story of transition written by a mother and her transgender son.
Gemma and Leo Telford wrote their memoir with the aim of destigmatizing and humanizing transgender people and the issues they face. Their story provides an honest insight into what it’s really like to come out to your family, tell those in your inner circle, get help, grow up and live as a trans person, as well as what it feels like to parent a trans person.
Between beautifully illustrates the issues, pain, struggle and joy for trans people and their parents, and is a must-read for those in the same shoes, and those who want to be better friends and allies to the LGBTQ+ community.
Leo Telford is a 21-year-old trans man and student at the University of East Anglia, studying sociology, with a view to going into teaching. Leo has A-levels in sociology, politics and business.
Gemma Telford is a 52-year-old parent of a trans son and self-employed marketing consultant who has worked for more than 20 years in the technology industry, helping technology businesses go to market in the UK, Europe and globally.
