This 358 page book details Dr. Leslie Martin Lothman's research into what was referred to as "female transsexuals". We would now refer to "female transsexuals" as "trans men" (or adjacent term). The book contains material surrounding transition methods at the time, including theraputic and medicinal (i.e. surgery), as well as theory on the origins of "female transsexuality".


Despite the book being published in the early 1980s, parts of it are oddly progressive, especially the section in Chapter 1 detailing what are myths and what are facts about "female transsexuals". See example images below. Given the time period, expect that the phrasing and word choices in this book will not be up-to-date or accurate to modern-day understandings of gender.
