Inhalt
When the author learned that a close friend had decided to transition from female to male, she felt compelled to try to understand why her friend wanted to have testosterone injected and to undergo a mastectomy in order to live as a man. Coming at the subject from several angles - historical, sociological, psychological, medical - she discovered that gender variance is anything but new, that changing one's gender has been met with both acceptance and hostility through times, and that gender identity appears to be inborn, not learned, though in some people the sex of the body doesn't match the sex of the brain. Since 1952, when Christine Jorgensen was the first American to undergo sex-reassignment surgery, the course of transgender politics and social acceptance of gender variance has proceeded in tandem with other civil rights movements.
