While I have never experienced gender dysphoria, and therefore will never be able to claim to know and understand the daily experience that someone who is Transgender faces, this collection of essays certainly helped illuminate for me some of the things that weigh on transgender men and women. Some of the more obvious examples I witness each day. But I can only attempt to imagine the self-criticism and self doubt that the external challenges serve to compound. Perhaps this book helps its readers to act as better allies to our transgendered brothers and sisters, but it definitely will help readers to understand the stories at least a few people, if only a little better. As one of the authors stated, "A stereotype has no power, and cannot survive over time, when pitted against the open truth of a personal story."
