About the Author
Jennifer Seeley is a transsexual woman. After losing both parents to cancer, she woke up and realized that life was short and it was only hers to live, and decided to let her true self out and start her transition to becoming a woman on the outside (she already was inside). Along the way, she overcame shyness, extreme insecurity, and found a new found confidence and sense of empowerment and a true sense of joy and peace from finally being herself. She had to "learn as she went" on her transition due to the lack of practical information out there on transitioning. She also made some mistakes and noticed that a lot of transgendered woman she knew were doing some things that were unhealthy or unnecessary even in their quest to be a woman. In order to share what she learned, she wrote "The Transgender Companion" to help all transgendered women (of all varieties) to have a practical, step by step guidebook to follow. She wants every transgendered woman (from crossdressers to transsexuals and everything in between) to learn to appreciate who they are, find what path is right for them, and have a healthy, safe and enjoyable transition to just being themselves - whoever that is.

A true feel good and empowering book for M-F TG/TS/TV's
A true feel good and empowering book for M-F TG/TS/TV's
I wish that I had a guide like this when I transitioned. If you ever really do stop?
This book deals with what is right for you as a person that just happens to also be "Trans".
It questions the ABC 123 cookie cutter medical approach to Transgender hormone and surgical treatment, while stressing the necessary safe guards needed to assure that the correct decision for the individual person is made.
The author completely discounts the traditional criteria for when the transition, happiness, and state of womanhood truly begins.
I can really relate to her personal stories even though I transitioned much differently. She states how transition is truly a state of mind and acceptance of one's self and that uniqueness is a good thing.
I really cried many times reading this book. It touches so close to home. I will try to always keep this book for inspiration on the not so easy days. She stresses how it is your life, and you need to live it for yourself, just as other live their lives for themselves, so don't feel guilt about being your "true self".
Jennifer Seeley comes across as a very wise woman in these 198 informative, captivating, and easy to read pages.
I'm glad to have read this book, and have a new strengthened sense of hope and validity.
Thank you Jennifer Seeley for a wonderful and uplifting book for the M-F TG/TS/TV community.
Excellent Reading!

THE TRANSGENDER COMPANION: THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRANSITIONING MALE TO FEMALE
This book is good for anyone just starting out and who has little or minimnal knowledge of resources. Also recommended for those who are ambivalent and unsure of a course of action to take.
However, for most transwomen who have gained knowledge and have a plan ( path) to trasitioning, it is too basic.
The author provides her viewpoint of transitoning which is not shared by all in the community while balancing it with the presentation that we all prioritizing diufferent things at different times.
For all of us though, it does provide a excellent boost to the confidence of anyone who is trans and helps with self esteeem and with our all important self image.

light and uplifting
I don't know that I'd call this a complete guide per say. But it's a great place to start if you or someone you care about is thinking changing gender or is TG and just wants to find out more about the process. It's an easy read and really liked the authors easy going attitude.
