      Synopsis

      Combines authoritative information and humanitarian insight into the transsexual experience

      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. True Selves offers valuable guidance for those who are struggling to understand these people and their situations.

      Using real life stories, actual letters, and other compelling examples, the authors give a clear understanding of what it means to be transsexual. They also give other useful advice, including how to deal compassionately with these commonly misunderstood individuals—by keeping an open heart, communicating fears, pain and support, respecting choices.

      August 22, 2009: This book is a MUST read. I have brought 5-6 and It really helps talk to people that already have read this. They are more at ease and more open with questions. The book is easy to read and understand as it is written for the uninitiated in this area.

      February 04, 2004: Reading this book showed my, finally, that there are others out there like myself. I saw myself in almost every page. I am grateful that there is someone with the knowledge and compassion to write such a book and to also care for individuals such as me.
