Since the publication of Becoming a Visible Man in 2004, at least two generations of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming individuals have emerged. However, the book remains a beloved resource for trans people and their allies.

Author Jamison Green's writings and advocacy within business and governmental organizations worldwide have led to significant changes in the fields of law, medicine, and social policy. His largely invisible work has had a profound impact on trans people globally. This new edition captures the changes of the past two decades, while also imparting a message of self-acceptance and health.

Green weaves profoundly personal and eminently practical threads, clarifying the transgender experience for transgender individuals and their families, friends, and coworkers. Medical and mental health care providers, educators, business leaders, and advocates seeking information about transgender concerns can all benefit from Green's integrative approach to the topic. This book candidly addresses emotional relationships affected by a transition and brings refined integrity to the struggle to self-define, whether one undergoes a transition or chooses not to.

Emphasizing the lives of transgender men, who are often overlooked, Green elucidates the experience of masculinity in a self-assured and inclusive way that aligns with feminist values. His inspirational wisdom has informed and empowered thousands of readers. There is still no other book like Becoming a Visible Man in the transgender canon.
