'Transgender' has become a convenient umbrella term to cover a collectivity of individuals (including cross-dressers, transvestites, transsexuals and intersexuals) who do not conform to traditional norms of gender identity and behaviour. This book is a compilation of autobiographies of men and women who openly and frankly describe their often very difficult journeys. Using a decade-by-decade format, the contributors provide the reader with critical insights into the process of realisation that led to their various gender expressions. Their life stories make clear that a good deal of diversity exists within the gender community.

As one of the contributors to this book I found the stories heart warming and enlightening. Not all of us succeed in every endeavor of our lives, but the challenge to each of us is the quality of our journey! The journeys discussed here will make you cry, laugh and appreciate your own chosen path through this life. This is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the gender diversity of those living in and around you.
