A complete study about what it is like to live in Flanders and the Netherlands as a trans person today for a wide audience of interested people. Very personal life stories of transgender people regularly appear in the media. Based on that, you might think that there is only one path, one kind of transition, one medical trajectory.
In "Het Transgender Boek", Guy T'Sjoen, Joz Motmans and Ilse Degryse show with a rich range of testimonials that there are so many variations on the theme and that everyone must and can decide for themselves which path they follow.
They answer questions such as: how do you tell your parents, your partner or your children that you want to become who you are? How do you guide a child who exhibits less stereotyped behaviour? Where can you find help and guidance and support from fellow sufferers? What can be done medically - in terms of surgery and hormone treatments, for example? What social and legal obstacles and challenges do trans people face today? And how do parents and partners deal with it?
