number of transsexuals have written accounts of their feelings before, during

auto-biography of a Female-to-Male Transsexual. (London: Cassell, 1996)
Stephanie Castle, Feelings: A Transsexual's explanation of a Baffling
Condition. (Vancouver: Perceptions Press, 1992)

Richard Green, Transsexualism and Sex
Reassignment (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1969).
The
Evangelical Alliance, 186, Kennington Park Rd. London SE11 4BT, have also
published a helpful book called Transsexualism.

postoperative transsexuals, and also some medical counselling resources.
