Written for general audiences, this unprecedented book comprehensively answers many questions about being transgender with current experiential and scientific information, including the evidence for a biological transgender predisposition.
With transgender people visibly achieving fame in entertainment, the literary world, and other arenas, increasing numbers of transgender people are choosing to publicly announce that they are transgender. All of this has brought transgender people and the associated issues of being transgender into mainstream discourse. The demand for fact-based, scientific information on being transgender has never been higher. 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.
This book serves to improve understanding of being transgender among general audiences—including transgender readers—by describing the science and experience of being transgender. It supplies an enlightening understanding of what if feels like to be transgender, when it starts, the many paths for living a transgender life, and methods to face challenges such as bullying and rejection. It provides a worldview that transgender people are neither broken nor diseased, but rather that they exhibit transgender behavior because of a biological predisposition for which there is solid scientific evidence.

      "Being transgender can be hard to understand but science provides definitions, evidence and facts that can be clear," notes biopsychologist Bevan, who publishes under her legal name (Thomas) yet is known in the transgender and academic communities as Dana Jennett Bevan. In this book, Bevan draws on analysis of more than 3,000 scientific articles as well as her own and other transgender experiences to provide a primer on the roles biology and culture play in the development of transgender identity and expression. VERDICT An accessible, enlightening compendium.--Judy Quinn, formerly with Library Journal
