Sommario/riassunto

Written by a transgender person who is also a physiological psychologist, this book is the first for general readers that explains what is known about transgender causation, what life as a transgendered individual is like, and the science involved in living a transgender life. It answers questions about being transgender using current experiential and scientific information, including the evidence for a biological transgender predisposition.
