How are you finding it? That book was quite helpful in demonstrating how common the symptoms are and how close some of them were to my own and helped quite significantly in self-diagnosis prior to official diagnosis. The only thing I would say deviated greatly for me was the fact most of the case studies tended toward heterosexual post transition.
Kylo the book is really giving me an insight into the condition.
So much insight that I may have to transition from transwoman to transman !
(Sorry that was a bad joke - but my timing was impeccable ! )
Seriously I think the case studies of the many transmen encompasses the transman experience quite thoroughly and has spiked my interest in Aarons life and experience.
The influence of nature vs nuture is a big question Im working through in the book right now.
I cant help but wonder if this is the best FTM book out there- it is good!
When we read a book encompassing FTM & MTF I think we find much common ground but the FTM experience does not mirror MTF exactly at all. It is so valuable to read about FTM in isolation as a topic.
A very good point raised on this board about the classic perception of of FTM being a type of lesbian when in reality its not really the case. Transmen are often attracted to cis men. Even transmen that like girls are generally not like lesbians at all.
