Reviews
“Through dulcet prose, Teague demonstrates the intricate process of becoming a woman. By deconstructing gender, the reader can witness and feel the emotional changes from “man” to “woman.” Gender transition touches many lives – family members, spouses/partners, children, friends and co-workers. Teague has included all of these issues in the book, displaying with remarkable clarity the range of reactions people have with trans-issues.” –Jennifer Sager, Ph.D., licensed psychologist, The ITM Group, Gainesville, Florida
"The journal entries are heartfelt, humorous, and honest and the narratives provide a strong context. Teague is unique in that she has a very public job as an academic and therefore an public transition." Book News Inc
