Vennessa St John - Third Sex Life

2014, English, Vennessa St John,

"Observations about transgender life and how gender does not necessarily dictate human behavior or sexual orientation based on the personal experiences of Vennessa St. John. Whether you are a transsexual, crossdresser, drag queen or any other member of the TG community or any member of the GLBT community, or just someone who is interested in gaining more insight into this world, then this book could be a tremendous resource for you. 

Examining a wide range of subjects from discrimination to stereotypes and stigma, Vennessa relates through a lifetime of personal experiences what life is like for her and many other members of the transgender community and discusses the differences between gender, personality, and human nature."

In 2015 I interviewed Vennessa and this is what she told me about the book: "It’s not really an autobiography. It doesn’t go into explicit detail about every aspect of my whole life and who I am. It concentrates on personal observations and personal experiences I have had growing up, living and working as myself.

I would say it’s more of a study or maybe a thesis although much of it is autobiographical. I wrote it because lately there has been a lot of press about TG rights and the struggle for equality and it seems (to me at least) that many people on both sides are limiting the scope of the issues in a very dangerous way. There are many subgroups within the TG community (like myself) who don’t specifically fit certain people’s definition of what they believe a transsexual or a transgender person is and I wanted to, hopefully, shed some light on that area."
