Trans Figured

In "Trans Figured," Brian Belovitch recounts his extraordinary journey as a gender outlier, sharing his experiences of coming out three times—first as a queer teenager, then as the glamorous transgender woman Tish, and later as Natalia Gervais, an HIV-positive gay man during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. His memoir captures a life rich with drama, from his humble beginnings in a working-class immigrant family to the vibrant yet perilous nightlife of pre-Giuliani New York City. Against a backdrop of transformation and survival, Belovitch's story highlights the resilience of the human spirit amidst chaos and danger.
