Contains many fasinating real life stories about families coming to acceptance with a transgendered loved one. Includes the story of TransFamily founders Bob and Karen Gross.

Joann Altman Stringer A realistic and thorough guide of all the realities for transsexuals planing to transition. The factional references are fascinating, especially concerning Joan of Arc. BUT it is also a Marxist diatribe. Trans-Sister Radio by Chris A. Bohjalian Excellent popular fiction. An excellent book, written for parents, spouses, partners, friends, and co-workers of transgendered individuals.
