Jenny Baker

Running has been many things to Jenny Baker--a space to achieve new things, a way to keep ft and healthy, and a source of friendship and community. She had planned a year of running to celebrate her birthday; instead Jenny was hit with a bombshell which rocked her life when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had one question for her oncologist: can I keep running? It gave her a sense of identity through her chemotherapy, while her treatment was stripping away everything that was important to her. Run For Your Life is the story of how she kept running to help her beat cancer, and how it helped her get her life back on track after an intensive spell of treatment and a turbulent time in her life.

"Why do I like dressing in women's clothes?", "Why does my husband want to dress in my clothes, use my jewellery - my make-up?" These and a host of other questions are asked by transvestites themselves and by their loved ones. Public perceptions are formed by a generally unhelpful portrayal by the media, while textbooks inevitably approach the subject from a pathologising viewpoint.This book is a collection of articles by professional writers and by participants in this much misunderstood activity. It aims to answer some of the questions in a more detailed manner than is possible on the helpline, while being non-directive and non-judgmental - and without being an apologia.
