transsexualism
exellent!
What is it like to grow up in the wrong body? Are transsexuals considered homosexuals? Filled with real-life stories, actual letters, and touching poems, True Selves paints a heartfelt portrait of the risk-taking, confusion, and--ultimately--the courage that transsexuals face as they struggle to reveal their true being to themselves and to others.
Brown and Rounsley's solidly based introduction to many aspects of living as a transsexual provides general information about the dilemma of feeling trapped in the wrong physical gender, about such a person's development, and about locating a gender therapist. Brown and Rounsley also detail the process of transition between genders, starting with legal and identity changes and proceeding to changing outward modes of self-presentation (they include sample "coming-out" letters to employers, coworkers, friends, and family members) and dealing with bathroom issues, hormone treatments, surgical options, and guidelines for finding social support. First-person accounts from transsexuals augment general readability and put human faces on the issues discussed.
