Reddit reviews Letters for My Sisters: Transitional Wisdom in Retrospect

Hello Beautiful,
I know you don't think you are right now, but trust me; you are more amazing than you'll ever know! You will do things in this life that you can't even imagine yet. You will love so intensely, you'll be in pieces, you'll cry for good and for bad, you'll laugh so hard you'll have tears in your eyes. You'll see babies being born, and old friends and loved ones join the ancestors. But most importantly, you will eventually look back and smile. You will be so proud of yourself that your heart will swell up and you won't be able to contain yourself. It will be worth all the stress you're feeling right now about the transition and your body. How you want to look and present yourself to the world all takes time.

I loved "Whipping Girl"! Julia Serano's "Excluded" is pretty good so far, but I haven't finished it.

Other than that, I enjoyed "Letters for my Sisters," an anthology of advice from trans women to their younger self (or to a young trans woman). I also recommend Anne Boedecker's Transgender Guidebook for general info. She also has a book just for MtF folks, but I haven't read it so I can't comment on it.

Among non-books, Laura Jane Grace's coming out story (published in Rolling Stone) was absolutely essential to my own self-acceptance.
