Reddit reviews My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely

I found Bornstein's My Gender Workbook to be really useful in nailing down my ideas about gender, both for myself and others. The only thing I worry about with her books is that she puts a bit of a bias toward non-binary gender in terms of what gets praised or valued. That works fine for me, but I've had friends who were strongly binary-identified, and they found it a bit off-putting.

This is a great book that covers a lot. It was a nice help to me to help "validate" my trans feelings of being a woman. I highly recommend it.

Just off the top of my head, here are some masterposts of transgender resources on tumblr:

A lot of that is related to passing (binding, makeup, etc), but there's also some very good articles and infographics in there, including a post about YA books with LGBTQ and trans characters. I will offer a word of caution regarding tumblr, though--though there's a lot of good resources sprinkled throughout the site, the site is also home to "social justice warriors," i.e. people who take social causes to absurd extremes. For example, "feminists" who claim that men can't be raped and mock/attack male victims of domestic/sexual abuse, people who send death threats to other people simply for wearing an article of clothing from a different culture, people who want to abolish language classes because they think learning another culture's language is demeaning to that culture, people who think other people should be fired for forgetting their pronouns, people who make posts like "I hate all cishet people and they are all [insert absurd, prejudiced comment here]."

In addition, here is a link to The Gender Book, a very good resource on trans identities:

This wiki is devoted primarily to asexuality, but there is also information regarding genders in it:
