Transforming Families: Real Stories About Transgendered Loved Ones by Mary Boenke "Trans Forming Families is one of THE, yes THE most PRO-FAMILIY books I've ever read. If you know of any grandparent, parent, sibling, spouse or child who is having difficulty dealing with a transgendered family member or spouse, you would show them a great act of love by getting this book into their hands." "Trans Forming Families: Real Stories About Transgendered Loved Ones includes 31 stories by parents of very young gender variant children, by parents of adult transgenders, by spouses and partners, and by special others - grandparents, siblings, adult children. It is the first book published detailing the journey families experience when their trans loved ones comes out to them -shock, denial, dismay, and finally understanding and acceptance. These are role models for all trans folks' families. The stories includes a wide variety of transgenders - FTM's, MTF's, crossdressers, intersexed, young and older, married and single, several from other countries, some with disabilities."
True Selves : Understanding Transsexualism-For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals by Mildred L. Brown, Chloe Ann Rounsley "Brown and Rounsley's solidly based introduction to many aspects of living as a transsexual provides general information about the dilemma of feeling trapped in the wrong physical gender, about such a person's development, and about locating a gender therapist. Brown and Rounsley also detail the process of transition between genders, starting with legal and identity changes and proceeding to changing outward modes of self-presentation (they include sample "coming-out" letters to employers, coworkers, friends, and family members) and dealing with bathroom issues, hormone treatments, surgical options, and guidelines for finding social support. First-person accounts from transsexuals augment general readability and put human faces on the issues discussed."
