I just finished Shannon Thrace's "18 Months." It took me a while to get it because the first time I ordered it, Amazon canceled my order with the mysterious note, "Could not be shipped." The only other book this has happened to me with was Helen Joyce's "Trans." I've heard of similar Amazon oopses from a friend who has ordered GC books from there. Anyone else have this experience?

Anyway, "18 Months" is great. Highly recommend. Maybe this is bias confirmation, but it supports 100% why I don't believe men can become women (if the simple biological fact weren't enough, which it is for me). Very few of them even approach a real understanding of women and what our internal or even external lives are like. And their "lady selves" use us and take from us the same way their man selves always have in order to build up and puff life into their empty, narcissistic fantasies. They're not even trying to become women. They're trying to become a man's idea of a woman.

This is the second trans widow memoir I've read this year, the other being Christine Benvenuto's "Sex Changes." Her ex-husband has also written a memoir about his gender journey I was considering reading too, but haven't gotten around to it. I would be reading it to be fair, but I'm not really interested. How much brain space do you have to give to a bad idea before you discard it?

Anyway--anyone have other trans widow biographies to recommend?

I'm very interested in these stories right now because they illuminate better than anything how bad AGP is for women and kids. It makes no sense that we are supposed to treat this any differently than Dad deciding his is Jesus and demanding everyone go along with it. Actually, it's worse--at least there's the bare possibility of someone casting aside earthly things and serving his neighbors if he thinks he's Jesus. All an AGP is going to do is laser focus on his appearance and his sexual fetish to the exclusion of all else.
