Declan Henry starts the book with a refreshingly honest confession that at one point he knew very little about the T in LGBT. With complete earnestness he sets out to give an overview of the transgender community in simple and very readable sections. He has packed this small book full of information, snippets of enlightening interviews and his thoughts about transgender equality and equality in its widest sense. A must read for anyone wishing to be an ally who realises that only with knowledge and understanding can you change hearts and minds. -- Juno Roche, Writer, campaigner and Patron of cliniQ

What comes across well, and is refreshing to read, is the range and variety of experiences: that there isn't one way to be trans or to experience gender variance.
Any counsellor working (or likely to work) with trans and gender-variant clients would do well to read it. It may also be useful for clients who are family and friends, and are looking for information and understanding.
