A defiant, unflinching exploration of gender identity, gender discrimination and gender euphorialet me tell youhow to lean gently onone another withoutrocking sideways.Rae White's much-anticipated second poetry collection, Exactly As I Am, speaks to their lived experience as a non-binary transgender person. Their defiant, unruly poems interrogate the spaces transgender people are both assigned and denied in society, through unflinching explorations of gender identity, gender discrimination and gender euphoria. These poems lean against you, hold out their hand and offer you- a connection, a community, a call to action.
