Okay, maybe it's a bit premature since I haven't finished it completely, but I'm far enough through it to bring this up:
There is a book called "True Selves: Understanding Transsexualism," by Mildred L. Brown (and one other person whose name I forgot!). It's a pretty good work about the TS process - emotionally, psychologically, physically - and is especially geared towards friends, families and associates of those who are TS. Those who are TS will benefit a lot from this work as well even some of it is obvious to us.
The authors raise many good points, such as why it takes so long to obtain SRS - something that was a recent thread here. It is not a difficult book to read and is very balanced between FTMs and MTFs.
I still plug Helen Boyd's book "My Husband Betty" because of its point of view. This one takes a different approach because the authors are not personally involved with a TG person, as Helen is. Dr. Brown is a qualified therapist with considerable experience. She is not trying to force acceptance upon those who will always be hostile. She is merely trying to help people understand what we go through.
