For More Than Four Decades, Between 1969 And 2010, The Remote Former Mining Town Of Trinidad, Colorado Was The Unlikely Crossroads For Approximately Six Thousand Medical Pilgrims Who Came Looking For Relief From The Pain Of Gender Dysphoria. The Surgical Skill And Nonjudgmental Compassion Of Surgeons Stanley Biber And His Transgender Protege Marci Bowers Not Only Made The Phrase Going To Trinidad A Euphemism For Gender Confirmation Surgery In The Worldwide Transgender Community, But Also Turned The Small Outpost Near The New Mexico Border Into What The New York Times Once Called The Sexchange Capital Of The World.The Full Story Of That Nearly Forgotten Chapter In Gender And Medical History Has Never Been Tolduntil Now. Awardwinning Writer Martin J. Smith Spent Two Years Researching Not Only The Stories Of Trinidad, Biber, And Bowers, But Also Tracking The Lives Of Many Transgender Men And Women Who Sought Their Services. The Result Is Going To Trinidad, Which Focuses On The Complicated Pre And Postsurgery Lives Of Two Biber Patientsclaudine Griggs And Walt Heyerwho Experienced Very Different Outcomes. Through Them, Smith Takes Readers Deep Into The Oftenmystifying World Of Gender, Genitalia, And Sexuality, And Chronicles A Fascinating Segment Of The Human Species That'S Often Misunderstood By Those For Whom Gender Remains A Mostly Binary Maleorfemale Equation.The Stories Of Trinidad'S Surgeons And Transgender Pilgrims Provide An Important Opportunity To Better Understand The Millions Of Complex Individuals Whose Personal Struggle Is Complicated By Today'S Quicksand Of Cultural Pressures And Prejudices. More Than Six Thousand Transgender Men And Women Left Trinidad Hoping That Hormone Therapy And Surgical Relief Was The Right Prescription For Their Pain. For Most It Was, But Not For All, And Their Experiences Offer Important And Timely Insights For Those Struggling To Understand This Sometimes Confounding Human Condition.
