驚異的なＦＴＭフォトエッセイ
女性から男性へ移行する過程について写真と文章でまとめている。著者も当事者であり、他にも当事者を紹介している。このような本を発表している作家は日本ではまだいない。アメリカの本だが、世界的にみても希少だろう。平明な英文でＦＴＭ当事者には一見の価値あり。

You are lucky just to find a copy. They are hard to find and have become pricey. It is still worth the money. Loren Camron documents his transition and life trying to align his mind and body into the person he knows and feels he is. He has several case examples of other's who have gone through transition including Dr. Steven Whittle (activist & professor of law) and Jamison Green ( activist and author). Loren painfully documents his physical mental changes before and during his transition through reveiling self portraits. This was unheard and never done before 1996. There will never be any follow ups to this book. Mr. Loren Cameron died in 2022 by suicide after a long bought of depression brought on by health problems. Please go online for further details.

This book is beautifully photographed and really takes you inside the life of an FTM. I would recommend this book to anyone that is going through a rough time with gender identity and loved ones that may have questions about the transitioning process.These photos and stories are emotional and beautiful. The before and after photos are absolutely incredible.

I love this book. I bought it when it was new, and I've since bought copies to give to friends. I'm a gay man, not transgendered, and yet kindred. This book gives hope and shows lots of love and courage. Love it, love it, love it. Buy it.
