What does it take to live openly as your true self in an industry built on image, judgment, and contradiction?
In Transgender & Triggering: The Life of Dylan Thomas Cotter, former adult entertainer and underwear model Dylan Thomas Cotter shares a raw, unfiltered memoir of identity, survival, and self-acceptance as an openly gay transgender man navigating Hollywood and life in the public eye.

With candid, conversational storytelling and vivid dialogue, he invites readers into moments of triumph and trauma, euphoria and anguish-revealing not just what happened, but how those moments transformed him.
