At least two generations of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people have emerged since Becoming a Visible Man was first published in 2004, but the book remains a beloved resource for trans people and their allies. Since the first edition's publication, author Jamison Green's writings and advocacy among business and governmental organizations around the world have led to major changes in the fields of law, medicine, and social policy, and his (mostly invisible) work has had significant effects on trans people globally. This new edition captures the changes of the last two decades, while also imparting a message of self-acceptance and health. With profoundly personal and eminently practical threads, Green clarifies transgender experience for transgender people and their families, friends, and coworkers. Medical and mental health care providers, educators, business leaders, and advocates seeking information about transgender concerns can all gain from Green's integrative approach to the topic. This book candidly addresses emotional relationships that are affected by a transition, and brings refined integrity to the struggle to self-define, whether one undergoes a transition or chooses not to. Emphasizing the lives of transgender men--who are often overlooked--he elucidates the experience of masculinity in a way that is self-assured and inclusive of feminist values. Green's inspirational wisdom has informed and empowered thousands of readers. There is still no other book like Becoming a Visible Man in the transgender canon.

This book speaks to both the larger culture and challenges in the trans community and the more individual ones experienced by the author and his family. I found it interesting and yet heart breaking how each of the sectors of the LGBTQ communities still fight against each other. I so wish we could accept people for what and where they are, not jockeying for position over one another.
In a small way I’ve never felt comfortable in my body- not gender- or sex-wise, but always vaguely disappointed in its lack of strength and my inefficient shape. When I had my first child and had to have a c-section, it took me a long time to find any affection for that body, especially as I struggled with breast-feeding and such, all things I had been raised to expect a female body could do with ease, or at least without so much of a battle.
I can’t imagine how very horrible it would be to reject the actual shape and function of my apparent gender, how very lost one would feel, how right it would be to finally match up the bits with the brain, be who you are. This book gave me a bit of a glimpse into this process.
I recommend it for anyone interested in knowing more about transition and the transitioning community. I have much to learn. ( )
