Raised by Wolves: A transgendered woman's journey of self discovery

The most widely read transgender diary, "Raised by Wolves" is written by a pioneer in the transgender community. Melanie Anne Phillips, founder of the first transgender support web site in 1994 and creator of the most widely used method of developing a female voice documented her entire transition in this daily journal. "Raised by wolves" is the first book in Melanie's "Transition, Transformation & Transcendence" series, each written as it happened with insight, passion, humor and courage in the face of the emotional wrecking ball called sex change that took apart her life. This volume begins with Melanie's first day of hormone therapy and continues through transition to live in her new gender role, the effects of her changing lifestyle on her family (a wife and two children) and friends, and concludes with sex reassignment surgery itself. In the background Melanie's life plays out as a writer/director in the motion picture industry and creator of the most widely used software for story development, which was based on a model of psychology that largely came from her experiences in transition. "Raised by Wolves" is essential reading for anyone considering transition or any major life change, and for all those interested in the beginnings and growth of the transgender community on the internet.
