Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Matt Kailey lived as a straight woman for the first forty-two years of his life, and then he changed. With the help of a good therapist, chest surgery, and some strong doses of testosterone, Kailey began living life as the man he’d always wanted to be. Now, in Just Add Hormones, Kailey uses humor and humility to explain his journey toward accepting himself as neither a woman nor someone born male.

Kailey answers all the questions you’ve ever had about what it’s like to live as a transsexual. From the fear of public restrooms to deciding whether to “pack” his pants, he explains what the world looks like from his new male vantage point. More than a memoir, Just Add Hormones is full of advice for those who may be questioning their gender while also offering valuable insights to the family and friends of those who have started a transition.

People frequently ask Kailey “Are you done?” In Just Add Hormones, Kailey reassures readers that being a transsexual is about more than some operation: it is a state of mind, a place between the two genders that can cause us all to consider—and even laugh at—our own notions of what being a man or a woman means.

Synopsis:

The author uses humor and humility to explain his journey toward accepting himself as neither a woman nor someone born male, sharing advice with those who may be questioning their gender while also offering valuable insights to the family and friends of those who have started a transsexual transition.

Synopsis:

A candid look at gender roles and reassignment from a middle-aged, Midwestern, middle-of-the-road transman.
