Old Man, Look At Me Now
The omnibus review can now be found here.
Posted by Fred Kiesche at August 23, 2007 06:32 PMI know it's not exactly the first thing that would come to mind, but....
The initial part of "Old Man's War" describes accurately what it feels like for a person born with HBS - Harry Benjamin Syndrome, or Transsexuality - to transition.
You lose everything, usually. Family, job, friends, you may have to change career. Your whole life, everything you own, every achievement, erased.
But you also have a body that finally *feels right*. I can't explain it. Old Man's War does it so accurately though that I wondered if anyone who's TS had advised the author.
