You Only Live Twice is the unflinching story of a life lived in two genders--first as someone trying to meet everyone else's expectations, then as the man Jay always knew himself to be. With raw honesty and unexpected humor, Jay chronicles the confusion of childhood crushes on female teachers, the suffocating weight of wedding dresses and gender roles, the darkness of psychiatric hospitals and addiction, and the terror and relief of finally speaking an unspeakable truth.
