Has anyone read "Rethinking Normal," by Katie Rain Hill? It's by a young transsexual woman who relates her experiences growing up, coming out to family and friends, going out with boys, and other stuff. I think that is a great book to recommend to any family or friends who sincerely want to have a better understanding of what transsexual people are going through and what kind of support they need. It's not a scientific book, but rather just someone telling their own story.
