Transgender 101

A Simple Guide to a Complex Issue

De: Nicholas Teich, Jamison Green - foreword

Narrado por: John Malone

Talented narrator John Malone does justice to this interesting, highly listenable, and engaging introduction to transgender issues.

Written by a social worker, popular educator, and member of the transgender community, this well-rounded resource combines an accessible portrait of transgenderism with a rich history of transgender life and its unique experiences of discrimination. Chapters introduce transgenderism and its psychological, physical, and social processes. They describe the coming out process and its effect on family and friends, the relationship between sexual orientation, and gender and the differences between transsexualism and lesser-known types of transgenderism.

The volume covers the characteristics of gender identity disorder/gender dysphoria and the development of the transgender movement. Each chapter explains how transgender individuals handle their gender identity, how others view it within the context of non-transgender society, and how the transitioning of genders is made possible. Featuring men who become women, women who become men, and those who live in between and beyond traditional classifications, this book is written for students, professionals, friends, and family members.

Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Takes you from zero to hero in just 5 audible hrs!

Expertly written, expertly narrated! As a parent of a trans son, I thought I understood him well and was being supportive. This book taught me so much more. It made me a better parent. You can't or a price on that.

great info

must read for understanding basic terminology and history of the trans experience.

the narrator's voice is nice, but the book is read in a clinical way.

Thank you very informative
