Transforming Families: Real Stories About Transgendered Loved Ones
by Mary Boenke "Trans Forming Families is one of THE, yes THE
most PRO-FAMILIY books I've ever read. If you know of any grandparent,
parent, sibling, spouse or child who is having difficulty dealing
with a transgendered family member or spouse, you would show them
a great act of love by getting this book into their hands."
"Trans Forming Families: Real Stories About Transgendered Loved
Ones includes 31 stories by parents of very young gender variant
children, by parents of adult transgenders, by spouses and partners,
and by special others - grandparents, siblings, adult children.
It is the first book published detailing the journey families experience
when their trans loved ones comes out to them -shock, denial, dismay,
and finally understanding and acceptance. These are role models
for all trans folks' families. The stories includes a wide variety
of transgenders - FTM's, MTF's, crossdressers, intersexed, young
and older, married and single, several from other countries, some
with disabilities."
True
Selves : Understanding Transsexualism-For Families, Friends, Coworkers,
and Helping Professionals by Mildred L. Brown, Chloe Ann Rounsley
"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."
Mom,
I Need To Be A Girl by Evelyn D. Lindenmuth, Just Evelyn (Editor),
Andrew Warhmund, Dawn Trook "Heart warming and up-lifting.
I am a male-to-female transsexual. Evelyn's response to her daughter
is heart-warming, especially for those of us whose Mom had just
the opposite reaction and now are dealing with being transsexual
later in life. Well done Evelyn. Danielle is blessed to have a Mom
like you." This is a great book. Just Evelyn did a great job.
I am a m-f transsexual at the age of 14. So I hope my mom can accept
me the same way and will definitely give this book to my mom when
I come out. All parents and transsexuals should read this book."
