While the majority of content deals with body image concerns, one of the more interesting chapters is titled "Your Body Is Your Sign". The chapter focuses on how the perception of one's body shapes relationships. After learning that your body parts are a product of your body composition, the chapter helps to develop a more positive self image regarding one's body. It points out that transgendered individuals can access the same resources that non-transgendered people use.

After learning that your body is not a fixed entity that is assigned at birth, and that it can be changed, many transgendered individuals find greater levels of control and happiness. Many find that their bodies begin to align with their inner desires and can begin living more consciously. This allows them to pursue love and intimacy in ways that would have been impossible before. With its detailed studies and clear discussions, this book provides information for anyone who is interested in reading about the impact of altering one's body.
