At best, we are often given a sanitised overview that vaguely mentions the most 'socially acceptable' parts - maybe a nod to a hot flush (sweat-free, naturally), or a joke about hormones. We rarely hear the full, raw stories from marginalised queer people of colour who have rejected the stigma and silence. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBlood, sweat, sex, hair, and the deeply spiritual experience of inhabiting a body in transition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThrough ritual, reflection, and the shared stories of the mothers, friends, and sisters who trod this path before you, this book offers a guiding hand to anyone who wants to defy the stigma of menopause and embrace the next stage of life. It will help you shed the colonialist, misogynist view of menopause as an ending, a time when women fade into irrelevance and gender-expansive people are never considered at all. The authors in this collection invite you instead to embrace your wisdom and life experience, to liberate yourself and transition into a new phase of being.","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":57103800336759,"sku":"9781839977190","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6595\/2677\/files\/9781839977190-original.jpg?v=1779188034"}],"url":"https:\/\/uk.jkp.com\/collections\/author-syd-yang.oembed","provider":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers - UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
