Has anybody ever read this book? I haven't read this book completely, but it's a book that I got years ago and in my opinion it's a great book for any transgender person to own.

It's an excellent book.  There is a new edition, "My New Gender Workbook", updated considerably from the 1997 version.

The book covers the entire gender-variant community, and is a useful tool in educating ourselves and others.  Some content is arguably political, but then that nicely describes the cultural interaction with gender-variant individuals.
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Sounds interesting. The one that I have is the 1997 version, but I would probably be interested in the new version as well. Thank you for telling me about it. :-)
