Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. This is an older book, from the 1980's, but I enjoy reading other guys' personal stories so it was interesting from that standpoint. I wish someone would do a thorough study of FtMs like this again. I think it would be absolutely fascinating and makes me wish I was a social scientist so I could do it! It is a long and occasionally dry read, but I thought it was worth it in the end. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
In this ground-breaking study, Aaron Devor provides a compassionate, intimate, and incisive look at the life experiences of forty-five trans men. Emerging into 21st-century political and social conversations, questions persist. Who are they? How do they come to know themselves as men? What do they do about it? How do their families respond? Who are their lovers? What does it mean for everyone else? To answer these and other questions, Devor spent years compiling in-depth interviews and researching the lives of transsexual and transgender people. Here, he traces the everyday and significant events that coalesce into trans identities, culminating in gender and sex transformations. Using trans men's own words as illustrations, Devor looks at how childhood, adolescence, and adult experiences with family members, peers, and lovers work to shape and clarify their images of themselves as men. With a new introduction, Devor positions the volume in twenty-first century debates of identity politics and community-building and provides a window into his own self-exploration as a result of his research.

Librarian's Review:
This book is very big and has some theoretical sections, which are harder to read. However, if you skip to the interviews, most of the quotes are easy to read. This book is pretty amazing, especially for people who want to “compare” their experiences with others, or learn more about the diversity of our community. Page 600 is particularly fun: she has made a table showing the steps trans men go through to arrive at their identity; working out what stage on the chart you are is irresistable. ( )
