Tango: My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels   by Justin Bond; The Feminist Press

For the great sake of proper names, political correctness, pronoun accuracy, and the reluctance of this reviewer to piss off anyone important, we'll call the New York City-based singer, songwriter, and Tony-nominated transgender performance artist Mx. Justin Vivian Bond by the preferred "V." And just leave it at that.

[...]

Whether fans will feel shortchanged or not, Tango is a witty, sardonic, sassy and thoughtful little book. In 134 pages, V's short memoir draws us in closer to the multi-talented performer who identifies as neither male nor female, but is wholly consumed with the art and dance of life and show.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
