In this groundbreaking memoir, she inspires people to accept the differences in others while they embrace their own truths through sharing her very public transgender journey. \"Jazz is one of the transgender community's most important activists.\" — Cosmopolitan \"A role model for teens everywhere.\" —Seventeen At the age of five, Jazz Jennings’s transition to life as a girl put her in the public spotlight after she shared her story on national television. She’s since become one of the most recognizable and prominent advocates for transgender teens, through her TV show, interviews, and social media. Jazz’s openness has led to bullying and mistreatment from those who don’t understand her choices. She’s fought for the right to use the girls’ bathroom and to play on a girls’ soccer team, paving the way for others. And in this book, Jazz faces an even greater struggle—dealing with the physical and social stresses of being a teen. But being on the front lines of trans activism doesn't stop Jazz from experiencing the joys of growing up, from day camp to first dates. Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the national discussion about gender identity. This remarkable memoir is a testament to the power of accepting yourself, learning to live an authentic life, and helping everyone to embrace their own truths.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780399554674","publication_date":"20170627","publisher":"Random House Children's Books","slug":"being-jazz","subtitle":"My Life As a (transgender) Teen","title":"Being Jazz"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAN051020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Bullying for Teens","score":0.7415,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN006150","confidence_band":"medium","label":"LGBTQ+ Biographies","score":0.741,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN006120","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Activist Biographies","score":0.7405,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAN051020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Bullying for Teens","score":0.7415,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN006150","confidence_band":"medium","label":"LGBTQ+ Biographies","score":0.741,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN006120","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Activist Biographies","score":0.7405,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"YAN006120","confidence_band":"high","label":"Activist Biographies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAN032000","confidence_band":"high","label":"LGBTQ+ for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAN051020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Bullying for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Bullying for Teens","score":0.7415,"slug":"bullying-for-teens"},{"label":"LGBTQ+ Biographies","score":0.741,"slug":"lgbtq-biographies"},{"label":"Activist Biographies","score":0.7405,"slug":"activist-biographies"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in memoirs about transgender adolescence and growing up"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Katie Rain Hill"],"book_id":"9781481418249","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781481418249.jpg?v=0669aeb732a447da","score":0.7268,"title":"Rethinking Normal","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781481418249"},{"authors":["Nico Lang"],"book_id":"9781419773822","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781419773822.jpg?v=95a6b4248a174781","score":0.7026,"title":"American Teenager","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781419773822"},{"authors":["Juno Roche"],"book_id":"9781787752597","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781787752597.jpg?v=9a50b8d5a6a0767d","score":0.6992,"title":"Born Epic, Born Trans","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781787752597"},{"authors":["Kate McCaffrey"],"book_id":"9781925163582","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781925163582.jpg?v=0230355b7fc7e1b7","score":0.6968,"title":"Saving Jazz","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781925163582"},{"authors":["Tash Oakes-Monger"],"book_id":"9781839971495","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781839971495.jpg?v=4feb2f979b2a266d","score":0.6828,"title":"All the Things They Said We Couldn't Have","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781839971495"},{"authors":["Tobly McSmith"],"book_id":"9780063038578","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063038578.jpg?v=78a7b229091dfe62","score":0.6784,"title":"Act Cool","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063038578"},{"authors":["Jane Fonda"],"book_id":"9780812978612","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780812978612.jpg?v=3ba25cad88e9d231","score":0.6637,"title":"Being a Teen","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780812978612"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:transgender teen"],"label":"Teen","score":0.1318,"slug":"teen"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:high school"],"label":"School","score":0.1154,"slug":"school"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:diversity"],"label":"Diversity","score":0.0344,"slug":"diversity"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:pride month"],"label":"Month","score":0.0304,"slug":"month"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:high school"],"label":"High","score":0.0272,"slug":"high"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Gender identity, Self-acceptance, Bullying and mistreatment.","Themes: Teen, School, Diversity.","Reading lane: Bullying for Teens and LGBTQ+ Biographies."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.95,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in memoirs about transgender adolescence and growing up"],"themes":["Gender identity","Self-acceptance","Bullying and mistreatment"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":5656,"goodreads_reviews_count":919,"quality_score":0.9452}}
