"Okay, so, I need to tell you something and I don't know how." I look nervously at my mom, hoping that she excepts me. "You know that you can tell me anything, correct?" I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I need to do this. She needs to know. "Mom... I'm gay." I look at my mom and she's staring at the table. I can practically see the gears turning in her head as she processes exactly what I just said. "So... You like girls? What about boys...?" "Mom, I'm a lesbian." She sits for a second, processing what I told her. She gets up, gives me a great, big hug, and says, " I am SO proud of you." After coming out to her entire school and her mom, 16-year-old, Jazz Peters decides it's time to be her self. But every time she looks in the mirror, she loses confidence. A couple of months later, she was diagnosed with body dysphoria. She decides to try and over come this "thing" and pushes all of the negative out. (Most of the events in this story actually happened. Names have been changed.)

I was lost and totally confused. The year was 2016 and I voted for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Being a mere nineteen years old-battling severe depression, social anxiety and fighting my sexuality-I was looking for "Hope" and I was looking for "Progress". In this book, I start out by chronicling my personal political journey, moving from the bowels of the modern left to the opening arms of the modern right. Following this, I lead the reader on a hard-hitting analytical journey, addressing and deftly dismissing some of the modern left's most persuasive and most used tools of narrative. In the end, things are poignantly brought back to home, as I address the overall deficiencies of the liberal idea of "progress" and how this relates to the theme of finding personal meaning in one's own life. This is at once a heartfelt story of personal triumph and a profoundly rigorous and witty treatment of liberal rhetoric. Hold on to your hats. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JTWJWSS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Jonathan+Mize&qid=1600915053&sr=8-3
