Title: True Selves: Understanding Transsexualism
Product review: As a grandmother of a transgendered individual, I found this book very helpful. It is informative, unbiased and yet sympathetic to all persons involved in trying to understand and help a person decide what steps to take next after affirming his/her transgendered status. It offers scientific facts as well as personal annectdotes. It recognizes the genuine confusion, hurt and often guilt experienced by loving relatives. In other words, it offers support not only to the transgendered individual but to counselors and family members as well.This is the only book of its kind that I have found, so I have nothing to which to compare it. It also clarifies the diffrences among gay and lesbian people, cross dressers and truly transgendered folk. They are not the same and all deserve to be treated with respect.
