From the Publisher
This book is a companion to the author's first book, Transsexual Workers: An Employer's Guide. The present volume is specifically for a transsexual's coworkers and is shorter and less expensive, allowing an employer to purchase multiple copies to distribute to employees. This book contains much of the same information as the employer's guide regarding transsexualism and the process of transition, but here this information is imbedded in the story of a transsexual woman who decides to transition on her job. Female-to-male issues are addressed by a transsexual man who speaks to her coworkers. There are two chapters of questions frequently asked by coworkers and answers to them. Also included are photographs of transsexual professionals to show readers that transsexuals in the workplace look pretty much like anyone else. Resources are offered for readers who want to access more in-depth information on this subject. The book contains a foreword by Marie Keller, Founder and Director of the Los Angeles Gender Center.
