My Husband Betty

Helen Boyd, a trans-gendered woman herself, has written the first book on trans-gendered men. Previously known as cross-dressers, transvestites, or drag queens, trans-gendered people are a diverse lot who defy typecasting. Helen addresses every imaginable question concerning the probable and improbable reasons for behavior that still baffle not only mental health professionals but the practitioners themselves; the taxonomy of the trans-gendered and the distinct but overlapping societies of each group; coming out; bisexuality, and homophobia. The book features interviews with some very interesting people: a dominatrix and her cross-dressing husband; a cross-dressing Reiki master and his son; a woman who after dating one cross dresser wanted to date others and fell in love with a transsexual instead.
