Nutt, Mary Ellis (2015). Becoming Nicole, The Transformation of an American Family. Penguin Random House, NY, NY. This is a very readable work of non-fiction about a family’s struggle to raise a transgender child who is even less typical than the average transchild. It begins when the parents adopt identical twin baby boys, only to have one of them grow from a very unhappy little boy to a much happier little girl. The reader follows them as they learn how this is possible from a genetic and biological standpoint, the ways their entire family is affected, and their struggle to find support and acceptance in communities and school systems as the children grow. Some of their experiences are heartwarming while others are frustratingly outrageous in the failures of some people to make an attempt to learn or even consider a new perspective.

Teen fiction about a very closeted transboy and how he achieves the self-confidence and the courage to be open about who he is among his family and friends.

Allen, J. J. (1996). The man in the red velvet dress: Inside the world of cross-dressing. New York, NY: Birch Lane Press, Carol Publishing Group. A well-educated and articulate crossdresser researches the varied world of crossdressing and writes about it from the perspective of a crossdresser. The author discovers more diversity than he was originally aware existed, but also offers a unique perspective, including aspects of sexuality.

Amato, T. & Davies, M. (Eds). (2004). Pinned down by pronouns (2nd ed.). Boston, MA: Conviction Books. This is a collection of personal stories written by 75 gender variant individuals in the Boston area, many of them youthful, discussing the impact on their lives of the gender binary and traditional use of pronouns. This lively discussion includes several points of view about what needs to change. It offers a window of insight into the thinking of younger trans people.

Besen, W. B. (2003). Anything but straight: Unmasking the scandals and lies behind the ex-gay myth. New York, London & Oxford: Harrington Park Press. As the title implies, this is an exposé of the ex-gay movement and the fundamentalist ministries behind it. However, do not be quick to dismiss it as lacking in credibility just because it is an exposé. It is well written and well researched, and very readable as well. Most importantly for the focus of this book, it speaks to the nature of sexual orientation, albeit in the gay population.

Bockting, W. O., & Coleman. E. (1992). Gender dysphoria: Interdisciplinary approaches in clinical management. Binghamton, NY: Haworth Press. As the title indicates, this book offers a summarized model for assessment and treatment of the transgender client. Included are comments about the currently used DSM classification in relation to sexual orientation (pp. 149).

Bockting, W. (1999). From construction to context: gender through the eyes of the transgendered. SIECUS Report, USA, 28(1), 3-7. This article points out that transgender identity may fluctuate over time and circumstance, recognizing that this may represent a process of self-discovery. Bockting goes on to challenge existing theories of transgender as not fitting with the experience reported by MTF transgender individuals themselves with regard to sexual orientation, reporting that some remain attracted to males, some to females and some report shifting attraction as gender role shifts.

Boyd, H. (2003). My husband Betty: love, sex, and life with a crossdresser. New York: Thunder’s Mouth Press. Written by the wife of a crossdresser, I consider this to be the best book available for and about the wives of crossdressers, and perhaps about crossdressers themselves. Boyd did not settle for drawing upon her own personal experience, but interviewed many other wives of crossdressers and many other crossdressers themselves. She has captured a broad cross section of the world of crossdressing and tells us about it in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. Neither does she shy away from the tough issues such as the initial negative feelings that many wives have when they find out about a husband’s crossdressing, or about the sensitive issue of sex both inside and outside of the marriage.

Boyd, H. (2007). She’s not the man I married; my life with a transgender husband.  Emeryville, CA: Seal Press.

Boylan, J. F. (2003). She’s not there: A life in two genders. New York, NY: Broadway Books. An autobiographical memoir of gender role transition by an author and Colby (Maine) college professor. Articulate and comprehensive, giving insights into many aspects of the transition process that include the struggles of family and friends, the hurdles of coming out, how children can be included and how they respond when the situation is handled with maturity and mutual respect. Included is an Afterword by Jennifer’s friend and 2001 Pulitzer prize-winning author Richard Russo, discussing the impact of transition on friendship.

Brown, M. L. & Rounsley, C. A. (1996). True selves: Understanding transsexualism—for families, friends, coworkers, and helping professionals. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass Publishers. Using Brown’s years of clinical experience, the authors have presented the transsexual experience with sensitivity and insight for the benefit of isolated transgender people, those close to them and also for the professional who faces working with such a client but lacks experience and resources. Some of the most common questions are answered. A little of the history of treating transsexualism, including theories are provided and important names in the field are identified. The role of therapy is explained, the process of transition, how to deal with issues related to job and career, and telling important people in one’s life.

Brill, Stephanie and Pepper, R. (2008). The transgender child. San Francisco, CA: Cleis Press, Inc. This long and sorely needed handbook is the first book to offer practical guidance to the parents, other family members and professional care providers in how to understand, sort out the issues and questions posed by transgender children, and to provide help for them when they express transgender feelings or exhibit transgender behavior. Although I found the use of the terms gender and gender identity inconsistent, it was a small matter in light of how badly needed this work is in today’s world, where we are finally recognizing that all the transgender adults we see were once children, many of whom had asked for help and had been ignored, often because no one knew how to help them.

Burke, P. (1996). Gender shock, exploring the myths of male and female. New York & London: Anchor Books, Doubleday. Discusses the concepts of gender prevalent in our society and the cost to individuals and to society as a whole for rigidly adhering to the associated behavioral definitions. Examines abuses to individuals, especially to children. Identifies historically harmful responses of therapists and researchers. Attributes all gender related behavior to learning, denies any of it is innate. Roundly condemns most of the people who are considered leaders in the field for their research, teaching, writing and therapy, on the basis of perpetuating these restrictive and stifling concepts.

Cohen-Kettenis, P. & Pfafflin, F. (2003). Transgenderism and intersexuality in childhood and adolescence making choices. (Developmental Psychology and Psychiatry Series, Book 46) Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications. This wonderfully forward looking work sets forth for the reader the range of conditions and issues related to sexual differentiation and gender identity variation. It explores the clinical and ethical issues inherent in the treatment of children who present with these conditions, including theories and treatment options. It is enlivened with numerous case histories that illustrate the points under discussion.

Colapinto, J. (2000). As nature made him: The boy who was raised as a girl. New York: Harper-Collins Publishing. Recounting of a landmark case that began in 1967 when a baby boy suffered the loss of his penis in the process of circumcision and was subsequently raised as a girl. This case set the stage for the feminist movement position that gender was a social construct and was learned. It has also forced social scientists to reexamine this construct in light of new information that, in this case, the individual was not happy as female and has since reclaimed his male identity.

Cole, S. S., Denny, D., Eyler, A. E. & Samons, S. L. (2000). Issues of transgender. In L. T. Szuchman & F. Muscarella, (Eds.), Psychological perspectives on human sexuality (pp. 149-195). New York, Chichester, Weinheim, Brissbane, Singapore & Toronto: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Chapter 4 provides a broad overview of some depth on medical, psychological, social, and political issues as relates to transgender persons and their family members. Written by co-authors of diverse disciplines, all with expertise in transgender issues. Does not address the impact of gender role transition on sexual orientation.

Coleman, E. & Bockting, W. O. (1988). “Heterosexual” prior to sex reassignment – “homosexual afterwards”: a case study of a female-to-male transsexual. Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality, 1(2), 69-82. While this article specifically offers a case study of a FTM person, it is relevant to a discussion of MTF sexual orientation as it illustrates the unconventional way this subject defined his sexual orientation, and the discussion has implications for the sexual orientation of MTFs as well.

Coleman, E., Colgan, P., & Gooren, L. (1992). Male cross-gender behavior in Mayanmar (Burma): a description of the acault. Archives of Sexual Behavior, 21(3), 313-321. This article describes the Burmese belief system and social attitude toward the acault within their culture. There does not appear to be any distinction between MTF transgenders and effeminate male homosexuals, but the belief is that being this way is not chosen but is due to being visited by a female spirit, usually early in life. While sex between male partners is not accepted in this culture, the acault are viewed as female and it is expected that their sex partners will be male.

Coleman, E., Bockting, W. O. & Gooren, L. (1993). Homosexual and bisexual identity in sex-reassigned female-to-male transsexuals. Archives of Sexual Behavior, 22(1), 37-49. This article is a report on 9 FTMs who are sexually attracted to males. Although anecdotally the path of FTMs appears quite different from MTFs, the way these subjects view their sexual orientation is analogous to many of the MTFs in the study being reported upon in this book and therefore provides an interesting contrast.

Docter, R. F. (1988). Transvestites and transsexuals: Toward a theory of cross-gender behavior. New York: Plenum Press. Reports the results of the largest survey to date on transgender behavior, and proposes a theory including what the author identifies as secondary transsexualism, with Docter’s concept being that there are early and late onset transsexuals and they are clinically different in several primary ways. The study is based on an initial 110 responses from people who identify themselves as heterosexual crossdressers. Several of their wives are also included. Docter has been (and is) a well known figure in the transgender community, often speaking at transgender community conventions and thus having extensive opportunity to mingle and interact with hundreds of subjects. He talks about the many manifestations of crossgender behavior and goes over some of the early theories of causation.

Docter, R. F. (2004). From man to woman: The transgender journey of Virginia Prince. Northridge, CA: Docter Press. Based on a long standing friendship and a series of interviews, Docter tells the story of Virginia Prince, born in 1912 and long considered by many as the Grande Dame of the transgender community. Inseparable from Virginia’s story is the story of the early development of the transgender community.

Doorn, C. D. (1997). Towards a gender identity theory of transsexualism. An unpublished dissertation, Vrije Universiteit. Amsterdan, The Netherlands. This is a work that I very much regret is not more widely available. It is the best source I have found for both a comprehensive review of the literature and a truly objective look at the question of sexual orientation in relation to transsexualism.

Ebershoff, D. (2000). The Danish girl. New York: Viking Press. This story is a fictionalized account of the true story of an early sex change surgery and the transsexual person upon whom it was performed. Taken from the non-fictional account Man Into Woman by Niels Hoyer in the early 1930s, this story describes the emerging female identity, how the spousal relationship evolved and one of the earliest known sex change surgeries.

Ehrensaft, Diane. (2011). Gender Born, Gender Made: Raising Healthy Gender-Nonconforming Children. New York: The Experiment, LLC. A guide for therapists working with transgender children and their families, but an equally helpful resource for parents of a gender non-conforming child.

Ettner, R. (1996). Confessions of a gender defender. Chicago: Spectrum Press. An unaffected and readable autobiographical account of how a psychologist was first introduced to the world of transgender and how it affected some of her own perceptions of clients, her work and the world. She intersperses vignettes with information and her own interpretations to help the reader better understand what it is like for a transgender person to navigate through life in a world that is at best indifferent and often hostile, judgmental and unaccepting. She describes how the transgender person often faces life with some of the same attitudes and mistaken beliefs as the larger society of which he is a member. She describes medical procedures that are commonly needed and sought by transgender persons and how these procedures impact lives. Ettner goes on to describe some of her own frustrations as she tries to offer education to her own profession, especially as she has encountered disinterest from the people she had most expected to show a sympathetic interest.

Ettner, R. (1999). Gender loving care, a guide to counseling gender-variant clients. New York & London: W.W. Norton & Co. Ettner draws from many resources to provide a brief overview of historical views of transsexualism, from a historical, social and clinical perspective, with theories of gender identity development and suggestions for diagnosis and therapy. This book, together with the work of Mildred Brown, are essential reading for the mental health professional beginning to work with the transgender population.

Feinberg, L. (1996). Transgender warriors: Making history from Joan of Arc to RuPaul. Boston, MA: Beacon Press. This is an account of the author’s personal experience that also breaks new ground in both history and theory. The author demonstrates that the historical suppression of transgender has rendered invisible the links between class and gender oppression. She calls on all of us to wield the emerging recognition of transgender warriors throughout history as a weapon in the struggle to make the world a safer and better place for people of all sexes, genders, and desires.

Green, Jamison. 2004). Becoming a visible man. Vanderbilt University Press, Nashville, TN. Written by one of the most esteemed leaders of the FTM community, this book combines his personal story with a history of the development of the FTM community, along with a primer of basic information as would be needed by an FTM person seeking to transition and a novice therapist seeking to assist such a person. A must read for FTMs.

Hirschfeld, M. (1922). Sexualpathologie [Sexual Pathology]. Bonn, France: Marcus & Weber. Defined 4 types of gender disturbance in males: heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and narcissistic or automonosexual. The latter is distinguished from asexuality in that the individual does have a sexual interest in self but lacks sexual interest in others.

Hirschfeld, M. (1991). Transvestites: The erotic drive to cross-dress (M. A. Lombardi-Nash, Trans.). Buffalo, New York: Prometheus Books. This translation of a pioneering work of Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935), much of whose work was lost during the rise to power of Adolph Hitler, provides the reader with a window to the early thought about a segment of the transgender population. In this work, divided into 3 parts, Hirschfeld addresses first some ethical questions in serving this population. He goes on to discuss diagnosis from many different perspectives, including sexual expression in its various forms, of which homosexuality is but one. He also offers historical and ethnological perspectives.

Howey, Noelle & Samuels, E., Eds. (2000). Out of the ordinary, essays on growing up with gay, lesbian, and transgender parents. St. Martin’s Press, NY. As the title indicates, this is a collection of personal stories from contributors who grew up with LGBT parents.

Israel, G. E. & Tarver, D. E. II. (1997). Transgender care: Recommended guidelines, practical information & personal accounts. Philadelphia, PA: Temple University Press. This is one of the better written books about the clinical treatment of transsexualism. Covering a comprehensive array of issues from diagnosis through surgery and including common clinical problems and suggestions for addressing them. While the authors make clear the distinction between gender identity and sexual orientation, like other authors, they do not speak to the question of what often appears to be change in sexual orientation that can occur as the shift in gender role takes place.

Lev, A.I. (2004). Transgender emergence: Therapeutic guidelines for working with gender-variant people and their families. Binghamton, NY: Haworth Clinical Practice Press. In my opinion, this much needed work is the finest textbook on the subject of transgender currentlyavailable. It might be a challenge for the general public to read, but still could be an excellent reference for a transgender person or a family member.

Meyerowitz, J. (2002). How sex changed: A history of transsexuality in the United States. Cambridge, MA & London, England, Harvard University Press. This book combines an amazing amount of well-documented information with a readable style to provide the reader with, not only a detailed early history of transsexuality and the social and medical responses to it, but also the preliminary history in Western Europe that provides the backdrop to what was happening in the United States. It is an excellent resource, but it does not address what might be termed modern times, i.e., the last two decades of the twentieth century and beyond.

O’Keefe, T. & Fox, K. (1996). Trans-x-u-all: The naked difference. London: Extraordinary People Press. Co-authored by a transsexual woman who is also a therapist, and her natal female partner, this work offers a comprehensive overview of the transsexual experience. It begins with the author’s theory about “pansexuality,” that includes the various combinations and manifestations of gender identity and sexual orientation. It discusses many possible causative factors, describes diagnosis and treatment, includes some social, legal and political considerations and several personal stories of transsexuals and their family members and friends.

Co-authored by a transsexual woman who is also a therapist, and a journalist collaborator, this book is a collection of personal stories describing the varied experiences of transgender people who are in caring romantic relationships, illustrating the fallacy of the idea that being transgender means living a single and lonely life.

Serano, Julia. (2007). Whipping girl. Emoryville, CA: Seal Press. The author, a biologist at UC Berkley and a transwoman, explores the often troubled relationship between transwoman and the feminist movement. In fact, she goes well beyond this undertaking to explore what it means to be a woman in today’s society.

Stuart, K. E. (1991). The uninvited dilemma. Portland, OR: Metamorphous Press. Based on interviews with 75 transsexuals, their family members and their medical and mental health providers, this book looks broadly at the transgender condition. It recognizes that transgender people may shift sexual orientation with shift in gender role and identifies some of the factors that may influence this shift. It also identifies the need for additional research in this area of study.
