December 02, 2005: This was one of the most poorly written books on cross-dressing that I have read for a few reasons. I found the frequent generaliztions on cross-dressing and gender roles to be far too simplistic, and at times contradictory. In the book, Rudd presents cross-dressers who feel the need to drastically change their personalities when dressed as a man or woman as well belanced, healthy people. Certainly anyone who feels the need to alter their personality as she describes is far from healthy! I found the suggestions to wives to be quite biased to the needs of the husbands. Give the women some support for their feelings too! By and large, this situation is not something they signed up for when they said 'I do' (and this is from a cross-dressing husband)! From a writing standpoint, the editing is poor, with chapters frequently straying from the topics of their titles and constant repititions of some topics.
