What they're saying about Just Add Hormones:

Kirkus Reviews says:

"Going bare-chested in public, having to change his car's tire without help for the first time, trying out a fake phallus, getting rebuffed in the Internet romance game, using a public men's room, going to a gynecologist for an annual Pap test, attending a conference with hundreds of other female-to-male-transsexuals -- Kailey describes all with frankness, and by engaging his reader with honesty and a touch of humor, he makes his life seem less alien that it might first appear to the straight world."

Richard Labonte says:

"This assertive hybrid of informal memoir and informed how-to guide is both a serious account of one person's transsexual experience and a genial exploration of gender transition. ... (T)he real worth of Just Add Hormones stems from its thoughtful analysis -- at times philosophical, at times political, and at times polemical -- of a life-changing decision."

Nadyalec Hijazi says:

"The book is almost a Prairie Home Transsexual; Kailey's low-key folksiness and dash of self-deprecation are a welcome contrast to stereotypes of transsexuals as both pathetic and bizarre. ... Kailey is effective at speaking from his own experiences, exploring the issues raised by those experiences, and respectfully outlining the diversity of transsexuals who have a different take on life. Highly recommended."
