Description

Everyone’s path is different, and it was important for me as a trans person to make sure that the paths of so many people I knew were represented, while presenting the spectrum of gender as being beyond a tale of mental health. In this reader-friendly book, full of loving graphics, I included such material as:

- Understanding the terms the terms surrounding the dialogue around trans issues
- Differences (and crossovers) between sex, gender, and orientation
- The wide array and types of trans experiences
- Social networking and emotional support systems for trans people
- Navigating medical care, from the common cold to gender-specific procedures
- What “transitioning” looks like, from a variety of different approaches
- How legal systems interplay with gender and trans issues
- Extra challenges based on gender, race, class, age, and disability
- Skills and information on being successful a trans ally

The book tries to walk its way through being both an ally resource, and a tool for trans people. It’s the book that Lee Harringtion wish he had when he tried to transition himself.
