"Being transgender can be hard to understand but science provides definitions, evidence and facts that can be clear," notes biopsychologist Bevan, who publishes under her legal name (Thomas) yet is known in the transgender and academic communities as Dana Jennett Bevan. In this book, Bevan draws on analysis of more than 3,000 scientific articles as well as her own and other transgender experiences to provide a primer on the roles biology and culture play in the development of transgender identity and expression.
VERDICT An accessible, enlightening compendium.
