Publisher's Summary

In a world that suffers from intolerance and discrimination, every bit of information about being transgender is valuable for transgender people themselves, their families, their friends, and the general public.

Being transgender is a reality that is slowly, but surely, being understood. Out of the many biological and psychological theories that attempts to explain it, the mirror effect provides some of the best clues. Through this effect and the other available theories, misconceptions can be debunked, errors can be corrected, and most importantly, true understanding can be achieved.

The term "transgender" may be relatively young, but gender dysphoria may have existed since ancient times. Only in more recent years has being transgender been identified, studied, and most importantly, labeled. Words are powerful and they create an anchor in which transgender people can either define or refuse to define themselves.

By listening to Transgender: The Mirror Effect you will learn:

  • About transgender identities & behaviors
  • Terminology
  • Differences between gender & sexuality
  • About gender identity development & dysphoria
  • What the mirror effect is
  • About transitioning
  • FAQs
  • Much, much more!

Transgender people fight an uphill battle in a world that may not yet be fully ready for their acceptance. However, with information available, like this audiobook, the battle may prove to be victorious both for those who are transgender - through acceptance - and those who are not - through understanding.

Act now, download this audiobook! Then you can immediately begin listening to Transgender: The Transgender Mirror Effect.

poor

The repeated use of the plural 'transgenders' struck me as wrong; also claiming transvestites are under the transgender umbrella? it would have been better to make very clear some theories stated are exactly that: just theories, e.g. Not growing up with a male role model can lead to mirroring of the mother instead and therefore create "a transgender". sounds like this book was written by a therapist or therapy fan who is NOT transgender, but who cobbled a bunch of gathered info together without any real depth of understanding. In my opinion, somewhat inappropriate.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
