Mother, son share personal struggle at colleges

AUBURN - A mother and her son came to Cayuga County Monday to share their stories of working through gender re-assignment.

Authors Hilda Raz and Aaron Raz Link visited Cayuga Community College and Wells College, reading and discussing topics raised by their collaborative work, “What Becomes You.”

The book, which was originally published by the University of Nebraska Press in April 2007, is a memoir written in the two voices and from the two different perspectives of the co-authors, detailing Link's decision when he was 29 to undergo gender re-assignment surgery in 1994.
