    About this ebook

    As the term “transgender” begins to reverberate in contemporary society, the hearts and minds of once closed-minded people are beginning to open. With the presence of well-known transgender people paving the way, life for transgender individuals is becoming more tolerable, but there is still a long road ahead to achieve freedom and equality without fear of violence and discrimination.

    For far too long, transgender men, women and youth have hidden behind a curtain of secrecy for fear of losing all they hold important in their lives. As more and more stand up for their rights and their very existence, the fact remains in most of today’s world that these individuals are still persecuted simply for living their lives and being true to themselves.

    "On Passing" is a short play intended to educate readers on the risks that transgender individuals face in their day-to-day lives. This is a young transgender man who has lived quietly and stealth, but he has been discovered by the wrong people. He and his girlfriend are no longer safe.
