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.

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."

Mom, I Need To Be A Girl by Evelyn D. Lindenmuth, Just Evelyn (Editor), Andrew Warhmund, Dawn Trook "Heart warming and up-lifting. I am a male-to-female transsexual. Evelyn's response to her daughter is heart-warming, especially for those of us whose Mom had just the opposite reaction and now are dealing with being transsexual later in life. Well done Evelyn. Danielle is blessed to have a Mom like you." This is a great book. Just Evelyn did a great job. I am a m-f transsexual at the age of 14. So I hope my mom can accept me the same way and will definitely give this book to my mom when I come out. All parents and transsexuals should read this book."
