In this remarkable memoir, historian and author Yves Rees invites readers into their experience of coming out as trans. At once generous and challenging, All About Yves is a fascinating journey through the author\u2019s experience of \u2018re-becoming\u2019: \u201cWhat happens when, aged 30, you understand you\u2019re transgender?\u201d they ask. Situating their personal story within the broader historical and cultural context of transgender people in Australia and around the world, Yves provides a warm and illuminating perspective on complex issues of identity, sexuality and the human experience.
