Overview
"You look better than me, and I'm a real woman!"
"You're so well spoken!"
"You're so brave for wearing that."
In her own life and activist work, Billie Lee has realized how painful microaggressions like these can be, even when they come from people whose intentions are good. As a trans woman in the public eye, Billie Lee has been on the receiving end of more than her fair share of microaggressions, but like most of us, she’s been guilty of them too.
In Why Are You So Sensitive?, Billie shares stories of microaggressions she's both received and committed, alongside an all-star list of contributors from different backgrounds including Brian Michael Smith, Isis King, and Jacob Tobia. Psychologist and microaggression expert Dr. Gina Torino provides analysis and advice to help readers better understand the underlying dynamics at play and simple ways to reduce harm in their own interactions.
Dynamic, relatable, and packed with insights, Why Are You So Sensitive? meets readers where they are and provides a vital blueprint for a better, kinder world.
