通过对变性人经验的考察，本书增强了对性别如何以强大、复杂和微妙的方式发挥作用的理解。作者本人也做过变性手术，她对各行各业的变性人进行了广泛的采访。她的个人经历，这告诉这本书，给了她一个访问她的主题，其他人可能会被拒绝。在强调变性人的性别认同如何与身体的荷尔蒙和手术变化以及着装变化相关的同时，这本书调查了符合预期性别角色的压力和动机，以及这些受社会，教育和职业地位影响的方式。从男性到女性的变化和那些谁从女性到男性的变化的经验的差异也进行了检查。变性最近成为媒体关注的焦点，因为越来越多的人感到能够坦率地谈论他们的性别焦虑症个人经历。医学技术的进步为变性人的生活提供了新的机会。这本书提供了独特的见解如何看到这些变化是由那些人最影响他们。
Through an examination of the experience of transsexuals, this book enhances understanding of how gender can and does function in powerful, complex and subtle ways. The author, who has herself been surgically reassigned, has conducted extensive interviews with transsexuals from many walks of life. Her personal experiences, which inform this book, have given her an access to her subjects that others would likely be denied. While highlighting how the gender identity of transsexuals relates to hormonal and surgical changes in the body as well as to changes in dress, the book investigates the pressures and motivations to conform to expected gender roles, and the ways in which these are affected by social, educational, and professional status. Differences in the experiences of those who change from male to female and those who change from female to male are also examined. Sex reassignment has been the focus of considerable media attention recently, as increasing numbers of people feel able to talk frankly about their personal experiences with gender dysphoria. Strides with medical technology have given transsexuals new opportunities in their lives. This book provides unique insights into how these changes are seen by those people most affected them.
