She's Not the Man I Married: My Life with a Transgender Husband
Categories: Books, Politics & Social Sciences, Social Sciences

Helen Boyd&apos;s husband, who had long been open about being a cross-dresser, was considering living as a woman full time. Suddenly, Boyd was confronted with the reality of what it would mean if her husband were actually to become a woman socially, legally, and medically. Would Boyd love and desire her partner the same way? Boyd&apos;s first book, My Husband Betty , explored the relationships of cross-dressing men and their partners. Now, She&apos;s Not the Man I Married is both a sequel and a more expansive examination of gender in relationships. It&apos;s for couples who are homosexual or heterosexual, and for readers who fall anywhere along the gender continuum. As Boyd struggles to understand the nature of marriage, passion, and love, she shares her confusion and anger, providing a fascinating observation of the ways in which relationships are gendered, and how we cope, or don&apos;t, with the emotional and sexual pressures that gender roles can bring to our marriages and relationships.
