Book Synopsis

If men are from Mars and women from Venus, then transwomen must hail from an entirely
different planet altogether. Neither wholly male nor wholly female, transsexual women
confound our terrestrial notions of gender, sex, orientation and femininity.

In the tradition of John Gray's preeminent relationship guide, Girls from Pluto: The Straight
Guy's Field Guide to Loving & Dating Transsexual Women puts the transsexual phenomenon in
a clear, familiar context that's readily accessible, uniquely insightful and - above all - practically
useful.

Written for intelligent men in search of more than pop-culture gossip or glittery decolletage,
Girls from Pluto is a must-read for every man who's ever seriously considered (or secretly
imagined) dating or loving a transsexual woman.

The search for true love is one of the most fundamental imperatives of every human being, and
transsexual women are no exception. The search defines our lives as women, yet our
prospective male partners are often prohibitively misinformed, left as they are to conduct their
own recognizance alone in the darkness of uncharted space. Growing media coverage and the
explosion of trans-related sex sites have done little to educate anyone on the true reality of trans
dating life, culture, maturity, etiquette, socializing, communicating or romantic intimacy.

The first-ever book of its kind, Girls from Pluto is the straight man's guide to understanding and
relating to the real trans-romantic experience. Filled with rich content, situational strategies and
the kind of insider advice only a smart, sensitive transwoman could relate.
