Ambisexuals are men who are erotically attracted to 'women with a penis'. Michael simply smiled and said, ""I've never been with a man. For me, a trans woman is a woman with masculine genitals, but she is still a woman. She looks like a woman and she acts like a woman." It's the 21st century. Trans wo men sex workers go to great lengths to meet these needs.Tens of thousands of men like Michael currently live around the world.

What motivates their sexual orientation... and the trans women they are drawn to? This book has fascinating anecdotal stories and hard data which leads to deep insights.

Category: Non-Fiction | Series: The\Big Idea Ser.

When we are born, we are each assigned a gender based on our physical anatomy. But why is it that some people experience dissonance between their biological sex and their personal identity? Is gender something we are, or something we do? Is our expression of gender a product of biology, or does it devel op based on our environment? Are the traditional binary male and female gender roles relevant in an increasingly fluid and flexible world?

About a Girl: A Mother's Powerful Story of Raising her Transgender Child by Rebekah Robertson

Category: Non-Fiction

In 2000, Rebekah Robertson gave birth to twin boys, George and Harry. But as they grew older, their preferences began to show, and by the age of three it was clear Georgie was drawn to anything that was pretty or had a skirt that could swirl. Before long Georgie began to insist that she was a girl and b ecame distressed that she had to hide who she really was when she started school. Soon the bullying started and she would come home in floods of tears, begging her mother to help her. Rebekah and her husband, conflicted about how to proceed and overwhelmed by fear, united in their determination to help her live freely and fearlessly. To ensure Georgie had access to medical support they sought permission for her to begin puberty-blocking medication. Their case was the start of the long road to justice for transgender children in Australia and became the basis of the 2013 landmark decision to remove the Family Court's jurisdiction. Georgie would go on to become one of the brightest stars of the Australian youth leadership landscape through her advocacy work. And Rebekah would found Transcend, a support network for transgender kids and their families in Australia. Part memoir and part inspirational message of hope for those navigating a similar path, About a Girl is a thought-provoking and profoundly moving true story. Above all, it is a celebration of family and the values that unite us all. ...Show more
