Gender Madness in American Psychiatry: Essay from the Struggle for Dignity by Kelley Winters Ph.D.

She give us the tools we need when confronting the psych establishment.  Talking points that could be turned into a Power Point presentation.  She tells us what to say when the justifiable rage would otherwise reduce us to either sputtering or screaming.

Riki Wilchins was the first sister whose book actually attacked the multiple levels of transsexual and transgender oppression in a way I related too.

Since then there have been several books by a variety of authors including Viviane Namaste, Jay Prosser and several others, all offering us far more understanding of our lives than anything from non-trans people.   Ms Winters book has immediately moved to the top of my list of books ever WBTS or WBTG must read.  It well deserves a place on your book shelf next to Julia Serano's Whipping Girl.
