The book documents and chronicles the actual process of changing one's sex from male to female in the eyes of the state. Further, it opens a political conversation around changing our notion of sex through a functional civil discourse around bodies, identities, and personhood.
Containing texts of actual correspondence between the author and both corporations and government agencies, this work details not only the means of a civil sex change, but also the repercussions of the higher-order problems intrinsic to such a metamorphosis.
Rigorously honest, combining accessible prose with academic integrity, this work exposes bedrock on which we can build a new platform of basic human rights for all Americans, regardless of sex or gender."
