Blending Genders: Social Aspects of Cross-Dressing and Sex Changing

This is a more academic collection than many others discussing transgender and transexual issues. Thirteen researchers and activists have contributed to this book. Usually their biases are clearly stated up front and for the most part the evidence is also well presented. As in most academic articles the reader may be surprised by the personal focus and "attacks" in some of the articles -- sadly this is all too common in many of the social and medicial sciences. Not geared toward the average reader; having a good grasp of social or psychological theory plus some experience in college level analysis is practically a must to get the most from this book.
