In this groundbreaking new book, the author, a trans man, trains to fight in a charity match at Madison Square Garden while struggling to untangle the vexed relationship between masculinity and violence. Through his experience boxing - learning to get hit and to hit back; wrestling with the camaraderie of the gym; confronting the betrayals and strength of his own body - McBee examines the weight of male violence....

What does it really mean to be a man? In Man Alive, Thomas Page McBee attempts to answer that question by focusing on two of the men who most impacted his life - one, his otherwise ordinary father who abused him as a child, and the other, a mugger who almost killed him. Standing at the brink of the life-changing decision to transition from female to male, McBee seeks to understand these examples of flawed manhood and tells us how a brush with violence sent him on the quest to untangle a sinister past and freed him to become the man he was meant to be.

Thomas Page McBee fue el primer boxeador transexual en combatir en el Madison Square Garden, pero este audiolibro no va de eso. McBee nació con cuerpo de mujer, siempre se supo hombre, se operó a los 30 años y entendió que el mundo no volvería a ser igual. Porque cambiar de género lo cambia todo. Y de eso sí que trata este audiolibro.
