About this deal

Swimming was not the only sport she excelled in. She was the school’s top high jumper and a gifted middle-distance runner. Did she take pride in her achievements? “Not really. Not when teachers are poking fun at the way you move, and calling you a nancy boy because you’re running away from the ball because you don’t want to play rugby.” In 2019, Bergdorf was awarded an honorary doctorate for campaigning for transgender rights by the University of Brighton, and appointed as a National Advocate for UN Women UK.

Munroe Bergdorf covers GAY TIMES: "I don't want to live in a world where trans people are afraid" ". GAY TIMES. 18 November 2021 . Retrieved 26 November 2021. In Transitional, she says the first functional, loving relationship she has had was with Ava, a trans woman she dated for three years. Bergdorf has a tiny cross tattooed on her right wrist. She got it on a day trip to Brighton with Ava, who got a matching one. Transitional is dedicated to Ava’s memory. I ask Bergdorf what happened to her, fearing the worst. She seems thrown by the question, and edges her way to an answer. “Erm … erm … she passed away in summer.” How old was she? “She was 33.” Was she ill or did she take her life? Bergdorf looks distraught. She tries to answer, but an anguished noise comes out of her mouth, part groan, part wail. “She took her own life,” she says eventually.

At least once. Without question this book is so timely with what's going on here in the UK and elsewhere. For me Munroe Bergdorf is up there with the best of humanity. She's as she always has been - essential.

Retrieved 20 September 2017.In September 2017, the UK-based Illamasqua hired Bergdorf as the face of its Beauty Spotlight campaign, which concerned gender fluidity.

I went through all of that sh*t and came out on the other side, still able to generate self-love and compassion and understanding for other people.”

In this life-affirming, heartfelt and intimate book, activist and model Munroe Bergdorf shares reflections from her own life to illustrate how transitioning is an essential part of all our lives. Through the story of one woman's extraordinary mission to live with authenticity, Transitional shows us how to heal, how to build a stronger community and how to evolve as a society out of shame and into pride. What about the swimming – has she swum competitively since school? “No! Nonono!” I stopped swimming competitively when I started having gender dysphoria at school.” Does she swim for pleasure now? “Yes.” Fast? “Not fast. My body’s not as hydrodynamic as it used to be because there’s a lot more of it!” She laughs.
