The Body I Wore. A Memoir<\/h3>\t\t\t

Diana Goetschv<\/strong>
\n“How can you spend your life face-to-face with an essential fact about yourself and still not see it?” This is a question that Goetsch, an award-winning poet and essayist, addresses. She brings us into her childhood, her time as a dynamic and beloved teacher at New York City’s Stuyvesant High School, and her plunge into the city’s crossdressing subculture in the 1980s and ’90s. Under cover of night, crossdressers risked their jobs and their safety to give expression to urges they could neither control nor understand. Many would become late transitioners, the Cinderellas of the trans community largely ignored by history. Goetsch has written not a transition memoir, but rather a full account of a trans life, one both unusually public and closeted.
