Christine Benvenuto had been married for more than twenty years - with three young children - when her husband turned to her one night in bed and said, "I'm thinking constantly about my gender." Unhappy in his body, he wanted to become a woman. Part memoir, part voyeur's look into a marriage, Sex Changes is a journey through the end of a marriage and out the other side.

Big Disappointment
Revisado: 01-24-23
I'm fascinated with these stories because I'm interested in what drives men with viable marriages and young children to throw it all away for the chimera of "living as a woman."
The problem with this book (which I didn't finish after getting halfway through) is a lack of chronological organization -- telling a story, without constant diversions, and a lack of concrete detail. There's way too much abstraction. It's like the whole story is covered with a gauzy scrim.
Benvenuto should have thrown all the New-Agey emoting out and focused on telling us the story with concrete details: When did her husband's obsession begin? When did she notice? What were their interactions like (details please, like dialogue) after his declaration that he was in the wrong body? And so on...
There will be more books like this coming down the pike and I hope the authors will study this book as an example of how not to do it.
