Nicole Maines: Trans Actress

I largely enjoyed Becoming Nicole, a family's experience of a trans daughter's childhood. 

I briefly noted: "The personal is mixed with background on the science nicely though I would have liked a bit more on the school's p.o.v. at times."

Nicole Maines won a state lawsuit involving the usage of a girl's bathroom. 2016 was early in the bathroom wars, including the Supreme Court playing keeping away from taking a case involving the issue. 

Nicole Maines, who became an actress, updates things with an autobiography that came out last year. You can also find her father giving various talks. The mom was an early supporter. Seems not as much of a lecturer.

The book was written before Trump's re-election but is ever more relevant now that the Administration is targeting trans people. And, the states have gone much more to the dark side since the first book was written.

Her autobiography does not have photos except those on the book jacket. She notes the book had help from a ghostwriter. Her voice comes out well.  

Nicole Maines is in her mid-20s now. 

ETA: U.S. Park Service deletes trans references on Stonewall monument page.
