A random collection of over 1910 books and audiobooks authored by or about my transgender, intersex sisters, and gender-nonconforming persons all over the world.

Cath Lloyd - When Dad Became Joan: Life with My Transgender...

Full title: "When Dad Became Joan: Life with My Transgender Father" by Cath Lloyd.

"In 1987, Cath Lloyd's father made the shocking confession that he was a transsexual and wished to become a woman. Although she wanted to be supportive, Cath didn't want to lose her dad, and it was hard to accept his decision.

In those days, asking for help wasn't the norm, and gender issues like this were swept under the carpet. Throughout the years of emotional, conflicting and tormenting thought processes, Cath wondered if life was ever going to feel normal again.


We all have a story about coming to terms with change, whether this is transgender reassignment, separation, divorce, loss, grief, illness, disability or living through another trauma. As we live through our story, we do the best we can with the strategies we have at our disposal.

Sometimes these are not enough and we have to search long and hard to find alternatives. That's where Cath's book will help you. She shares 7 of the strategies that helped with her family challenges. These can support you too, whatever difficulties you're facing in your life."
