Review It’s Not All About You by Elisabeth L. Morrissey

Guest Review by Lea

When you marry someone, you pledge to take them for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, but sometimes situations can arise that you did not, or could not foresee.

For some people, this situation is their partner coming out to the world as transgender.

Finding out what this transition means for your marriage can be difficult, but Elisabeth L. Morrissey is here to help, with her book, “It’s Not All About You, Living with a Transsexual Spouse or Partner.”

Elisabeth has been married to a transgender woman for twenty-five years, and she uses her knowledge of the trans community (and the laws surrounding it) to create a self-help book that aims to help people who find themselves going through the transition of a partner.

Whether you and your partner have been together for years, or are just starting out, I think this book would be helpful for you.

Elisabeth talks about dealing with discrimination at work, finding a marriage counselor or therapist, and medical issues that may arise during your spouse’s transition.

Elisabeth has a great talent for writing in a funny and relatable way. I typically do not read self-help books, but I found myself really interested in this one and unable to put it down from the beginning!

There are over eighteen very helpful sections of this book, each divided into the list of things that you will have to deal with over the course of your partner’s transition.

Ultimately, it is up to you and your spouse as to whether you two will continue to stay married, but this book can provide a lot of insight into the strange new world that you are facing.

Elisabeth is both a great writer and a great advice-giver. Her advice is excellent for yourself and your partner, if your partner has come out as transgender. I really enjoyed this entertaining and informative book! I give it 5/5 stars.
