About the Author

Jennifer Seeley is a transsexual woman. After losing both parents to cancer, she woke up and realized that life was short and it was only hers to live, and decided to let her true self out and start her transition to becoming a woman on the outside (she already was inside). Along the way, she overcame shyness, extreme insecurity, and found a new found confidence and sense of empowerment and a true sense of joy and peace from finally being herself. She had to "learn as she went" on her transition due to the lack of practical information out there on transitioning. She also made some mistakes and noticed that a lot of transgendered woman she knew were doing some things that were unhealthy or unnecessary even in their quest to be a woman. In order to share what she learned, she wrote "The Transgender Companion" to help all transgendered women (of all varieties) to have a practical, step by step guidebook to follow. She wants every transgendered woman (from crossdressers to transsexuals and everything in between) to learn to appreciate who they are, find what path is right for them, and have a healthy, safe and enjoyable transition to just being themselves - whoever that is.

3.0 out of 5 stars THE TRANSGENDER COMPANION: THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRANSITIONING MALE TO FEMALE, November 29, 2008

This review is from: The Transgender Companion (Male To Female): The Complete Guide To Becoming The Woman You Want To Be (Paperback)

This book is good for anyone just starting out and who has little or minimnal knowledge of resources. Also recommended for those who are ambivalent and unsure of a course of action to take.
However, for most transwomen who have gained knowledge and have a plan ( path) to trasitioning, it is too basic.
The author provides her viewpoint of transitoning which is not shared by all in the community while balancing it with the presentation that we all prioritizing diufferent things at different times.
For all of us though, it does provide a excellent boost to the confidence of anyone who is trans and helps with self esteeem and with our all important self image.

I don't know that I'd call this a complete guide per say. But it's a great place to start if you or someone you care about is thinking changing gender or is TG and just wants to find out more about the process. It's an easy read and really liked the authors easy going attitude.

This review is from: The Transgender Companion (Male To Female): The Complete Guide To Becoming The Woman You Want To Be (Paperback)

Jennifer Seeley has writen a complete guide to the physical aspects of transitioning for the Transsexual Woman, more importantly,she addresses the emotional issues like how we judge and feel about ourselves during this Wonderful and challenging Transformation. She cuts to the chase and is right on the mark. No matter what your situation or what you "Think you look like", This book will help you find the right attitudes and confidence in yourself to begin the life you have always dreamed of.
