"Transsexual autobiographies often focus on the individual's life struggle to integrate mind and body to achieve wholeness, but tend to gloss over the actual surgical experience, relegating information about a very important physical, psychological, and spiritual period in one's life to a few vague pages or paragraphs.
THE FINEST CUT helps to fill that void of information with a detailed account of the experiences of one male-to-female (MTF) transsexual as she goes through the surgical process. Beginning a few weeks before surgery and continuing through the recuperation period afterwards, she relates the preparations, experiences, thoughts, feelings, and physical, psychological and spiritual changes that she found occurring in herself and observed in others.
