Jennifer Finney Boylan is a widely praised author and professor.
Jenny's memoir,She's Not There won an award from the Lambda LIterary Foundation in 2004, the year after its initial publication. The book has since been published in many foreign editions, and was an alternate selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
Her 2008 memoir, I'm Looking Through You, is about growing up in a haunted house. While trans issues form part of the exposition of the book, the primary focus of I'm Looking Through You is on what it means to be "haunted," and how we all seek to find peace with our various ghosts, both the supernatural and the all-too-human.

I think Jennifer is totally dead on about the difference between trans women and natal women. Many of us struggle to embrace those differences. I say fu*k it.. Our past is part of who we are. Don't run from it!!
I agree! We are who we are.
I agree that we need to be true to our inner self

Thank you for your comments during this podcast. I just finished your book, "She's Not There". Great read. Alot of your feelings as you were growing up is exactly the way that I feel. It is nice to know that I am not the only one.
You have given me new insight and confidence to become who I am.
