In Man Alive, Thomas Page McBee tries to answer that question by focusing on two of the men who most impacted his life - one, his otherwise ordinary dad who abused him as a child, and the other, a mugger who almost killed him. Ranking at the brink of the life-changing decision to change from feminine to guy, McBee seeks to comprehend these types of flawed manhood and tells us how a brush with assault delivered him on the pursuit to untangle a sinister history and freed him to become the person he was designed to be. Man Alive engages a fantastic personal story to share with a general one - how exactly we all struggle to create ourselves and how this have difficulties often requires dangers. Far from a transgender change tell-all, Man Alive grapples with the bigger questions of legacy and forgiveness, love and assault, firm and invisibility.
