While a hostile relative re-writes my life: 'Who is, and is not, my family'

In autumn 2010, Knopf published a "transgender" themed young adult novel. The author, Catherine Ryan Hyde, is an estranged relative of mine.

The analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Hyde's young adult fiction novel will come from those who are living the identities, and oppressions to which she has applied her imagination.

However, as part of the media coverage and publicity tour for the release of the young adult novel, Hyde claims much of her expertise and authority for writing her "transgender"-themed young adult novel as based on my life and identity.
