She traces the everyday and significant events that coalesce in transsexual identity, culminating in gender and sex transformation. After an introduction which grounds the discussion in historical and theoretical contexts, the author takes a life course approach to understanding female-to-male transsexualism. Using her subjects' own words as illustrations, Devor looks at how childhood, adolescent, and adult experiences with family members, peers, and lovers work to shape and clarify female-to-male transsexuals' images of themselves as people who should be men Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Female-to-male transsexuals -- Case studies Transsexualism Gender identity.
