Decent reviews for Trans-sister Radio on Amazon. Thanks, Sfem, I think I'll order it.

I found them to be kind of disturbing... informative and good "get your feet wet" books, but still... I felt sorta dirty after reading them, almost like I should apologize to my wife a lot for being who I am.
She seems very angry in more than a few parts.
They've got a website, too and they've been around the block a few thousand more times than I have... great trans advocates... still scary reads for someone alone and finally discovering that this is the thing that has been nagging from the dark for their entire life.
I think My Husband Wears My Clothes is a more sympathetic piece of writing on cross gender identity (MtF) with a focus on cross dressing as its chief manifestation. It's a good read for the spouse of a cross dresser who may be having serious difficulty accepting her husbands gender variant behavior.
