A bible for the TS person,
By Jenny-Marie Jones (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medical, Legal and Workplace Issues For The Transsexual (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is an excellent guide for both the pre and post operative transgendered person, both F-M and M-F. I carried my book everywhere I went for years, even after the operation. Carry it as a guide (BIBLE) until fully comfortable with yourself. God Bless you and the best of luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book for the pre-op or post-op transsexual,
By Linda A. Simpson <jerilinda@msn.com> (Redmond, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medical, Legal and Workplace Issues For The Transsexual (Mass Market Paperback)
Book covers all aspects of transsexuality from what constitutes transsexuality to procedures for changing ones name, social aspects, and medical information. What impressed me was the book did not stop with information leading to surgery but also discussed SRS surgery itself and potential complications. Post operative care and concerns were also addressed. A must for those planning to undergo SRS.

A Must Have for those who are or think they are Transsexual,
By
This review is from: Medical, Legal and Workplace Issues For The Transsexual (Mass Market Paperback)
This book should be considered an essential read for anyone who is transsexual or thinks that they may be. It gives straight forward concise information for both the M2F and the F2M individual. Dr. Kirk, herself a TS person, writes with unbiased and up-to-date accuracy, touching on virtually every area a transperson must consider as they start their journey. On a personal note, it is considered a fundamental resource by the therapist (and all who have read it) in the gender-identity group I am involved in and for good reason; short of spending hours and hours searching the web there are few places where you will find more pertinent information on our journey than between these two covers.
