Author Helen Boyd is a happily married woman whose husband enjoys
sharing her wardrobeand she has written the first book on
transgendered men to focus on their relationships and their female
partners. Traditionally known as cross-dressers, transvestites, or
drag queens, men like Helen's husband are diverse and don't always
conform to stereotype. Many of the older transvestites are socially
conservative, deeply closeted, and devout churchgoers. Helen
addresses every imaginable question concerning the reasons for
behavior that still baffles not only "mental health professionals"
but the practitioners themselves; the taxonomy of the transgendered
and the distinct but overlapping societies of each group; coming
out; bisexuality; and homophobia. The book features interviews with
some very interesting people, all of whom struggle and love:
dominatrix and her cross-dressing husband; a crossdressing Reiki
master and his son; a woman who after dating one cross-dresser
wanted to date others and metand fell in love witha transsexual
instead; a woman whose husband promised her he was only a
cross-dresser and later realized that he was transsexual. This is a
book about relationships that will engage the reader, and Helen's
narrative is a powerful lens with which to examine our own notions
of gender and equality. "
