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.

Transgender is not the same as being transsexual. A transsexual was born one gender and transitions to the other. A transgendered person can be a man who is married to a woman. This man may dress in women's clothing, expressing himself as a woman at times. Gender has its roots in the mind, if you will. The transgendered person doesn't relate only to the sex they were born into. They may not feel comfortable in identifying with a sexual identity at all.
