Hi Nicole - hope you're well.So, if anyone's interested, you can find "She's Not There" on Amazon.com in my links section. And if you want to read another fascinating book on the subject, you can pick up a copy of the Riddle of Gender while you're at it.
Wanted to let you know that I finished "She's Not There" last week. Very interesting read - added bonus that it was a fun, easy read.
I certainly saw many similarities between her story and what you told me of your transition (starting as far back as your childhood), the pain and real sense of a life threatened, how tough it is to get the message through to friends and family (though she seems to have had a much easier time with it than you), and, finally, the feeling of relief of being able to live as one was meant to.
Just thought I'd let you know I enjoyed the book and learnt a few things as well.
Take care,

Book Review
Here's a email I received from a recent acquiantance (an orthodox jewish type to boot).
