Reviews / Votes
Engaging, Accessible, and In-Depth - This all-encompassing guide offers invaluable insights for anyone seeking to understand the variety of trans-affirming surgeries on the market today. Presented in a straightforward manner, the book steers clear of complex medical terminology, making it a breeze to grasp.I can't help but wish that this fantastic resource had been around when I first embarked on my own surgical journey. The comforting and enlightening nature of this book makes it a must-read for everyone, regardless of their gender identity. By delving into the nuances of the trans experience, which is truly unique to each person, this book fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for the diverse journeys people undertake. -- Fox Fisher, trans author and activist
