This is an older book, from the 1980's, but I enjoy reading other guys' personal stories so it was interesting from that standpoint. I wish someone would do a thorough study of FtMs like this again. I think it would be absolutely fascinating and makes me wish I was a social scientist so I could do it! It is a long and occasionally dry read, but I thought it was worth it in the end.

Holly Devor spent many years compiling indepth interviews and researching the lives of transsexual and transgendered people, many of whom became her friends. She traces the everyday and significant events that coalesce in transsexual identity, culminating in gender and sex transformation. After an introduction which grounds the discussion in historical and theoretical contexts, the author takes a life course approach to understanding female-to-male transsexualism. Using her subjects' own words as illustrations, Devor looks at how childhood, adolescent, and adult experiences with family members, peers, and lovers work to shape and clarify female-to-male transsexuals' images of themselves as people who should be men.

Librarian's Review:
This book is very big and has some theoretical sections, which are harder to read. However, if you skip to the interviews, most of the quotes are easy to read. This book is pretty amazing, especially for people who want to “compare” their experiences with others, or learn more about the diversity of our community. Page 600 is particularly fun: she has made a table showing the steps trans men go through to arrive at their identity; working out what stage on the chart you are is irresistable. ( )
