About this listen
Alice in Genderland is the first ever memoir by a crossdresser who is not content to live behind closed doors—and who takes it much further than his straighter, more circumspect peers might ever care to go. Most of the time, Harvard-educated psychiatrist Richard Novic is Rick, a caring doctor at the office and a loving husband and father at home. But one night a week, he is Alice, a brave trans woman about town, shopping, dining, dancing, and more.
In contrast to the life he leads today, Rick Novic suffered since his sporty, nerdy boyhood with a secret, a desire he was in no way equipped to handle, but one that eventually burst through his denial, a few months before his wedding day. Just once, he felt, while he still could, he had to know how it felt to be a woman.
Like Alice in Wonderland, his curiosity led him to fall headlong down a rabbit hole, through desperate straits, mind-opening surprises, heart-rending changes, gritty sex, and boundless love. By the time he was back on his feet, he was a different person, living a lifestyle he hadn’t known existed. Anyone who has struggled to figure out who they are and how they want to live will surely appreciate this informative and engaging life story.

Story
As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they just had too much of the stuff. Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were "a boy", they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation. It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride.

If you are transgendered, the feeling of wanting your body to match the sex you feel you are never goes away. For some, though, especially those who grew up before trans people were widely out and advocating for equality, these feelings were often compartmentalized and rarely acted upon. Now that gender reassignment has become much more commonplace, many of these people may feel increasing pressure to finally undergo the procedures they have always secretly wanted.

These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man", attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" (" miss sounds like you weigh 99 pounds").

Critic reviews
“Few know the transgender scene like Girl Talk magazine’s Alice Novic. This exciting new memoir by her male alter ego takes us along with him and the people he loves, as he encounters and explores each twist and turn around him and within him. As much Lewis and Clark as it is Lewis Carroll, Alice in Genderland blazes a new trail in the world of crossdressing.” (Linda Jensen, contributing writer, Transgender Forum)
“Alice bravely explores the limits of gender, sexuality, and relationships—a sexy, poignant, and often hilarious memoir of transgenderism.” (Vernon A. Rosario, MD, author of The Erotic Imagination, clinical faculty, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute)
“More provocative than soothing, Alice in Genderland is fascinating and well worth reading.” (Vern L. Bullough, PhD, author of Crossdressing, Sex, and Gender, past president of the Society of the Scientific Study of Sex)

eye opening and well written
I'm a 46 year old tg/cd much like her but much more private and scared of revealing myself. I've recently been reading/listening to this audio book and I can't believe how much we share and how much I've learned from her. she's also convinced me that I'm probably way over do for some therapy.

Very good overall read / listen on the subject matter of crossdressing and transgender.
Not all individual trans and crossdressing stories are the same. This is Alice's unique tale of Richard fulfilling their deepest desire to become Alice. Very candid and intimate. At times, Alice's story does almost borderline on trans erotica but that's ok, it's her sexual exploration in who she is. It would have been nice if it was narrated by the author. The narrator does a good job, but the very deep masculine tone of voice at times does not mesh well, (for me)with the beautiful image I had as I imagined Alice in her beautiful self. Overall, very informative if you're a crossdresser, curious to explore one aspect of the trans spectrum, or a spouse of a crossdresser.

Absolutely Incredible
This book is a must read for anyone who is struggling with gender identity, knows someone who is, or just wants to gain a broader worldview when it comes to the gender identity spectrum. This book was so incredibly eye opening. I resonated so deeply with Alice's feelings and experiences. I am so deeply grateful for Alice's courage, vulnerability, and self-disclosure. In reading this book, I actually learned much more about myself.
I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Alice in Genderland. I have not encountered a book quite like it. This is definitely one of those stories that I will re-read intermittently. Thank you so much Alice for this story about a segment of the population that does not typically get a voice.

Terrific excellence!
What a great story. As a CD your life story is 90% spot on my own life. At 46. My wife supports my dressing 100%. But does not know i experience Bi life as dressed out. This story inspires me to finally come out and tell her i want to. I believe she will be exactly your wife. As far as job is concerned i have extremely manly job and own business at home which i could never come out and continue my work. Im satisfied with that. Its only my bi experiences i want to share with the live of my life. Thank you for this sharing ! ;)
