"This is the most comprehensive, professional book to date on FTM transsexualism and the many aspects of their life journeys.

Devor gently, insightfully, starkly, and respectfully put forth a beautifully written illustration of how life could be for me, made evident by those who bravely chose to share their lives for this book. FTM was hot off the presses right when I needed it most. With the notable exception, that is, of the trans man s bible Devor s big red hardcover that still sits, 20 years later, prominently on my bookshelf. "I often say that I decided to pursue a gender transition despite what I read in the books that were available to me a handful of harsh, challenge-filled biographies about trailblazing transgender pioneers. With a new introduction, Devor positions the volume in twenty-first century debates of identity politics and community-building and provides a window into his own self-exploration as a result of his research." Using trans men s own words as illustrations, Devor looks at how childhood, adolescence, and adult experiences with family members, peers, and lovers work to shape and clarify their images of themselves as men. Here, he traces the everyday and significant events that coalesce into trans identities, culminating in gender and sex transformations. Who are they? How do they come to know themselves as men? What do they do about it? How do their families respond? Who are their lovers? What does it mean for everyone else? To answer these and other questions, Devor spent years compiling in-depth interviews and researching the lives of transsexual and transgender people. Emerging into 21st-century political and social conversations, questions persist. In this ground-breaking study, Aaron Devor provides a compassionate, intimate, and incisive look at the life experiences of forty-five trans men.
