Helen Boyd's husband, who had long been open about being a cross-dresser, was considering living as a woman full time. Suddenly, Boyd was confronted with the reality of what it would mean if her husband were actually to become a woman — socially, legally, and medically. Would Boyd love and desire her partner the same way?
Boyd's first book, My Husband Betty, explored the relationships of cross-dressing men and their partners. Now, She's Not the Man I Married is both a sequel and a more expansive examination of gender in relationships. It's for couples who are homosexual or heterosexual, and for readers who fall anywhere along the gender continuum.
As Boyd struggles to understand the nature of marriage, passion, and love, she shares her confusion and anger, providing a fascinating observation of the ways in which relationships are gendered, and how we cope, or don't, with the emotional and sexual pressures that gender roles can bring to our marriages and relationships.

Rating:  out of 5 stars - crossdresser
More of the same about My Husband Betty and would recommend for all crossdressers and SO's.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Another success for Helen Boyd
"Helen Boyd," again has published a fine book on a very complicated subject. Helen takes the slant of a "feminist," but with such care, dedication, humility, humor and consideration for "Betty," that I cannot find anything wrong with this book. Helen makes things "pop" with understanding and reality. I read this book cover to cover in just a few days and will re-read this book to improve my understanding of Helen, Betty and the TG community. Helen's writing flows over the surface like warm butter ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Good read
Picked this up for my GLBT class, it certainly brought up a lot of dicussion. The way things are viewed that people do not notice is brought up quite well. Good read overall that could be finished in just a couple days.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Book Review, "She's Not the Man I Married"
It's a very interesting book about a woman who shares her life stories with a very feminine man who she ends up marrying. He is a crossdresser and later tells her he wants to have a sex change. So, she is torn on what she will do because "she's not the man that I married."



Rating:  out of 5 stars - She's not the man I married
An excellent sincere confession of this very human person, Helen Boyd.

I enjoied everything about it. It is an incredible real life story.

Thank you Helen for sharing with us.
