SHENHER, LORIMER

LORIMER SHENHER is an acclaimed author, public speaker, and advocate for marginalized people and police reform. His first book, That Lonely Section of Hell, is a memoir of working on Vancouver’s Missing and Murdered Women file. It was chosen as a Globe and Mail’s 100 Best Books. His new memoir, This One Looks Like a Boy: My Gender Journey to Life as a Man, reflects on his childhood gender dysphoria and teenage sexual experimentation to his early-adult denial of his identity—and finally the acceptance that he is trans, culminating in gender reassignment surgery in his fifties.
