'Transgender' has become a convenient umbrella term to cover a collectivity of individuals (including cross-dressers, transvestites, transsexuals and intersexuals) who do not conform to traditional norms of gender identity and behaviour. This book is a compilation of autobiographies of men and women who openly and frankly describe their often very difficult journeys. Using a decade-by-decade format, the contributors provide the reader with critical insights into the process of realisation that led to their various gender expressions. Their life stories make clear that a good deal of diversity exists within the gender community.
J. Ari Kane-DeMaios, Ed.D., is a consultant and life-coach with a focus on gender diversity and on aging and gerontology. Formerly he served as executive director for the Outreach Institute of Gender Studies and is currently the executive director of the Educational Institute for Sex and Gender Diversity. Vern L. Bullough, Ph.D., D.Sci., R.N., the author or editor of over fifty books and an internationally recognized sexologist, is the founding director of The Center for Sex Research at California State University, Northridge (CSUN); professor emeritus of the History Department at CSUN; and formerly dean of social and behavioral sciences and a distinguished professor at the State University of New York College at Buffalo.
