This book is up to date as of May 4, 2016 and highly recommended by a transgender icon and modern transgender pioneer, Dr. Renee Richards. She wrote, "Dear Joanne.thank you for sending me Transgender Complete. I read it and was impressed with how comprehensive and erudite a discussion it was of all things 'transgender'. Much has happened since my days of involvement in the subject-especially interesting for me to read about all the research in neuro biology as well as recent advances in diagnosis and care for children and young people with transgender issues. Congratulations." - Dr. Renee Richards

Joanne Borden, the author and Winner of the Best Storyteller award in 2012 at NYC's Fresh Fruit Festival, based this book on 4 years of full-time research. The style of writing and scattering of transgender people's comments make this book an easy read.
Some unsolicited comments received via email are:
"The first thing I noticed is the great amount of research and facts and howclearly they are presented. The next thing was how it answered so manyquestions that have puzzled me all my life. I now understand myself andfeel better knowing I am not a freak."
"This is an amazing book. I realize my daughter is not sick but needs my help facing the world full of people who didn't read this book. I still can't believeit took a book for me to understand my own child."
"I want you to know that I have been enjoying reading your book. I appreciate all the work you put into it . . .It's obvious all the research you've done on the book and it's informative and entertaining."
"You cannot imagine how I am enjoying your book. I am about to finish it but I am sure I am going to read it again several times. I am pretty convinced that it has helped [me] like nothing before."
"I have started reading your book and . . . I am so impressed with the amount of research you have done with your book. It has [already] answered some of my questions regarding my gender origins."
"[I] am very impressed by the amount of time you must have spent in research. This is some piece of work, and while I didn't curl up with the copy as yet, it appears to be easy reading for a very complex subject."(A non-transgender person)
"I just finished reading your book and think it is the best I've ever read regarding the transgender issues. It should be a must read for everyone!"
