In 2002, a psychologist and crossdresser named Richard Novic shocked the world when he ran the FIRST empirical study of transgender people conducted in the United States. The most shocking part of his carefully conducted survey was that 25% of the respondents had attempted suicide at some point in their lives. These findings seemed so incredible that, like good scientists, another group conducted an even more extensive and more comprehensive study and discovered that the original research WAS wrong. Over 45% percent of the respondents had attempted suicide!
This book attempts to explain to non-transgender readers the thinking and conflicts that transgender people often struggle with during different phases of their lives.
