From the Cover

This amazing book covers the whole transsexual experience from start to finish, giving the facts comprehensively as never published before. Written by Tracie O'Keefe, a transsexual and Clinical Therapist at the London Medical Centre, Harley Street, and her lover, the gossip columnist/model/actress and linguist Katrina Fox, it presents everything you ever wanted to know about transsexuals.

Included are the views of the experts, families, friends and partners of those who are compelled to undergo such a dramatic metamorphosis. Given is the kind of information that may now lead the world to reconsider that transsexuals are born and not, contrary to popular belief, made in Casablanca.

Guaranteed to change your mind about those whom you thought changed their sex, this book will give you a window into the fascinating world of those who change their bodies and not their minds.
