The book that makes dreams come true!!!

A Self Made Man was a very well written book.The emotion that was there was fabulous, it was funny, interesting & sad but most of all, for me it was heart warming.The book gives a very good account of a day to day life of a female to male transsexual, the ups and downs.The best thing i found was that Paul was really honest and didn't hide the not so good parts of being an FTM.I would say that the only thing missing from this book was some finer detail....How did he choose the name Paul? Who did he first go to in a medical capacity for help? Were they any good? How long from that point did it take to start testosterone?I think in a book of this nature the whole point is to try to help others in that situation, which it does, however as i have detailed, i don't think there was enough info about the lead up to starting testosterone. Paul Hewitts, A Self Made Man gave me the courage to believe that it was time that the little boy that had been inside me for 28 years should come out and breathe for the first time.So, come on Paul, whats been happening since then? It's time for another!!!!
