I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya

Toxic masculinity takes many insidious forms, from misogyny and sexual harassment to homophobia, transphobia, and bullying. Vivek Shraya has first-hand experience with nearly all of them. As a transwomen she grew up experiencing aggression for displaying femininity, and is haunted by the violence of men. I'm Afraid of Men is a culmination of the years Vivek spent observing men and creating her own version of manhood. Through deeply personal reflection, she offers a rare and multifaceted perspective on gender and a hopeful reimagining of masculinity at a time when it's needed more than ever.

Vivek Shraya is a writer, musician, performer, and filmmaker from India. He has been shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Awards three times, and his prior works include the novel Woman of the Mountains and the YA novel God Loves Hair. He has performed and read at events, festivals, and post-secondary schools all around the world.
