Transgender Explained For Those Who Are Not

Transgender Explained For Those Who Are Not by Herman, Joanne. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781449029579.

Written in 2009, when only 8% of Americans knew a transgender person, Joanne Hermans book sought to educate everyone else. It was before Caitlyn Jenners transition greatly increased awareness, before transgender surgeries became more widely covered by health insurance, and before gender affirming care became available for youth and the average age of gender transition dropped dramatically. Organized by topic into short, easy-to-read chapters, Joannes book served as a way to quickly get up to speed on what it means to be transgender.
