Kappa Beta Serving the transgendered community since 1988

This is great little book, girls! In addition to the little tips she gives on hair, makeup, jewelry, etc. Ms. Leigh’s main emphasis is on helping us to become more fully accepting of ourselves. This in turn makes others more accepting of us.

The only thing emancipated crossdressers are ‘afflicted’ with is abundant self-acceptance, a lack of narrow mindedness, and a disturbing tendency to express our true selves. If this is a problem, then let’s define it as Gender Identity Euphoria, the treatment for which is MasterCard Therapy.”

Ms. Leigh uses both humor and straight-forwardness to show how to handle people we confront and teaches how to hold our heads erect and meet the world on our terms.

She emphasizes the three most important lessons we need to internalize:

Accept yourself – denial doesn’t work;

Assert yourself – you deserve the best;

Allow yourself – to enjoy your new freedom.

We are not monsters; we all know that – intellectually. This book helps us to believe that emotionally; and that is critical to our self-image and self-acceptance. It is possible for everyone else to be wrong and an individual to be right.

I highly recommend this book to all our members. And after you read it, be prepared for a shopping trip!
