Books on Transgender

Someone reached my blog doing a search for read any good crossdressing books lately. By coincidence, my friend Helen Boyd has just posted a list of her top 10 books on transgender on her blog. I will certainly bow to her expertise--she has been teaching college courses on transgender since last fall, and she is far better-read on the subject than I am. Her list:

• Butch Is A Noun - S. Bear Bergman
  
  
• Gender Outlaw - Kate Bornstein
  
  
• Crossdressing, Sex and Gender - Bullough & Bullough
  
  
• Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism - Patrick Califia
  
  
• Head Over Heels: Wives Who Stay with Crossdressers and Transsexuals - Virginia Erhardt
  
  
• Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman - Leslie Feinberg
  
  
• Becoming a Visible Man - Jamison Green
  
  
• Mom, I Need to Be a Girl - Just Evelyn
  
  
• Whipping Girl - Julia Serano
  
  
• Transition & Beyond - Reid Vanderbergh
  

She is too modest to include either of her own books, but I can't imagine a top ten list by an objective observer that didn't include My Husband Betty.

Her blog post also lists some additional books that she recommends.
