Transsexual
Workers: An Employer's Guide by Janis Walworth " Clear,
sensitive, no-nonsense, informative resource. This is a book I can
recommend to our counselors, job developers and employers alike
to increase awareness, understanding, and more comfort around issues
which may be very new to many people. The resource guide in the
back is excellent for going more in-depth with various issues."
"Very helpful for employers, I am a transgendered employee
at a large corporation. My manager found this book extremely helpful
in assisting me with my transition at work. In particular it is
accessible to people unfamiliar with gender issues without being
dry or long-winded. Its employer perspective is especially helpful."
Working
with a Transsexual: A Guide for Coworkers by Janis Walworth
"An Excellent Guidance for Successful Transition. The second
book of Janis Walworth is a complement to her firstbook "Transsexual
Workers - An Employer's Guide" regardingtranssexuals in the
workplace. To better understand transsexuals, it tells the story
of Brian's early childhood, his struggle of being a boy but feeling
and identifying as a girl, conflicts with his parents, and socially
being pressed into a life which was not his at all. His desperate
prayers, his secret life as a "woman", his depressions,
his wedding plans that ended in a suicide attempt, his seeking counseling
that guided him safely through his transitioning from Brian to Brenda
and helped him/her to become a valuable employee.

Legal and Workplace Issues For The Transsexual by Sheila Kirk
M.D. "Medical, Legal and Workplace Issues for the MTF &
FTM Transsexual supplies comprehensive and accurate information
addressing the medical, legal and workplace issues encountered through
every phase of the sometimes challenging transition process. From
the "real-life test", to surgical, medical and legal concerns,
to the start of life "thereafter", this book provides
the necessary tools and information to make transitioning proceed
smoothly and successfully. A "must-read" for male to female
and female to male transsexuals beginning or currently engaged in
the transition process."
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."
