Understanding Transsexualism--For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals

by Mildred L. Brown and Chloe Ann Rounsley

Filled with wisdom and understanding, this groundbreaking book paints a vivid portrait of conflicts transsexuals face on a daily basis-- and the courage they must summon as they struggle to reveal their true being to themselves and others.
