This review is from: Transvestites & transsexuals: Mixed views (Hardcover)

Published in the mid-70s, this book evenly covers both transvestism and transsexualism from a sociologist's point of view. While the book could be taught in a classroom, it is far from dry or academic, and would hold the interest of the lay reader. People with gender issues or those affected by another person's gender issues will find some useful information in these pages for coming to terms with the topic. Personally speaking, this book led to my own ephiphany in 1985. Highly recommended. It's a shame it's still not in print.
