There is no one way to be transgender.
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is a revolutionary resource--a
comprehensive, reader-friendly guide for transgender people, with
each chapter written by transgender and gender expansive authors.
Inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, the classic and powerful
compendium written by and for cisgender women,
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is widely accessible to the
transgender population, providing authoritative information in an
inclusive and respectful way and representing the collective
knowledge base of dozens of influential experts. Each chapter takes
the reader through an important issue, such as
race, religion, employment, medical and surgical transition, mental
health, relationships, sexuality, parenthood, arts and culture, and
many more. Anonymous quotes, testimonials, art and poetry from
transgender people are woven throughout, adding compelling, personal
voices to every page. In this
unique way, hundreds of viewpoints from throughout the community have
united to create this strong and pioneering book. It is a welcoming
place for transgender and gender-questioning people, their partners
and families, students, professors, guidance counselors, and others
to look for up-to-date
information on transgender life. The content of the second edition of
this award-winning resource will be thoroughly updated throughout and
will include entirely new stories, artwork, and illustrations as well
as dozens of new contributing authors and collaborators.
