Description

S/he: Changing Sex and Changing Clothes explores how gender functions in complex ways. Based on extensive interviews with transsexuals, this book examines the relationship between gender identity and physical changes, as well as social pressures to conform to expected roles.

The author's personal experiences inform her understanding of her subjects, giving her unique insights into the pressures and motivations that drive individuals to change their appearance in response to gender dysphoria. The book also investigates differences in the experiences of those who transition from male to female and vice versa.
