Title: Transgender Profiles
Description: "The simple pleasure of seeing Myself in the mirror. In her capacity as an electrologist, Linda DeFruscio has helped many transgender individuals move toward an expression of who they truly are inside. These are her clients, and these are her friends: beautiful, brave people who have taken a leap forward into self-knowledge and genuine living, taking off their masks to become who they know they were meant to be. Transgender Profiles: Time for a Change contains the unique and inspirational stories of twenty transgender individuals of various age groups, backgrounds, and experiences. In a volume including photographs, original poetry, and blog posts by transitioning individuals, and medical and practical information about her personal work with the transgender community, Linda DeFruscio draws back the veil on twenty ordinary people with ordinary lives, people who are desperate for nothing more than the ability to live those lives as themselves. Written for people who are considering transitioning, those who want to better understand people who have transitioned or are thinking about it, or the simply curious, Transgender Profiles is a testament to a person's ability to adjust the body to fit the mind and soul, a plea not only for tolerance but for compassion and inclusion of people of all genders everywhere"--Jacket.
