What Losing Male Privilege Revealed About Power, Leadership, and Vulnerability

The View From Her Side is a forthcoming book about gender, credibility, leadership, and the invisible systems that decide who gets believed.

For the first half of her life, Katrina King moved through the world with authority that often arrived before she did. She was listened to in rooms, trusted as an expert, and granted the benefit of the doubt in ways she did not yet fully understand.

Then she transitioned.

What changed was not her intelligence, experience, or capability. What changed was how the world responded to her.

Part memoir, part feminist analysis, and part leadership reckoning, The View From Her Side explores what losing male privilege revealed about power: how credibility is granted, how vulnerability is punished, how women are expected to adapt, and how systems protect themselves by pretending they are neutral.

This is a book about transition, but it is not only a book about being trans. It is about the rules everyone is living under — and what becomes visible when you are forced to cross from one side of them to the other.
