Loved!
This book is an incredibly well-written collection of perspectives on living life as transexual men. Anyone who has ever come to a realization about their true selves will understand and relate to many of the experiences described in the book. The liberation of getting to be one's self is a wonderful topic about which to read. This book is highly recommended and presents many viewpoints about the catharsis of becoming who we really are.
Twenty-seven FTM men write about their lives. The quality of the writing is a bit uneven, but they're all good stories and there's a nice variety of ages, transition experiences, etc.

I highly recommend that every...

This is a really good read for anyone wanting to better understand the female-to-male transgender experience. The essays come from a wide range of persons varying in age, race, school and work backgrounds. They also present people in different stages of transition. Some very touching stories which invite the reader to a place of compassion and understanding.
You should read this book. Yes, you. Whoever you are.Yes, I am a chapter author, but no, that is not why you should read this.You should read Manning Up because it will: make you smile, make you cry, make you think, and make you feel that the world is big enough for you, and that you are worthy enough for it. Regardless of if you are a man, or trans, or both, or neither. At least, that's what it did for me. The writers are honest and beautiful (and yes, brave). The stories are personal, and thou...
