The Weekleys moved here to Massachusetts from Oregon last fall for David to attend Boston University's School of Theology; David and Deborah's writings are among those in "Hung Jury", and David and editor Trystan Cotten will be presenting about genital surgery at the local First Event conference later this month.
David's autobiography "In from the Wilderness (Sherman: She-r-man)", with a foreword by Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, was published in 2011 by Wipf & Stock -- click here for more information; there is also a publisher's flyer available as a PDF.
New Book Release
Hung Jury: Testimonies of Genital Surgery by Transsexual Men
Edited by Trystan Theosophus Cotten
Hung Jury is the first book of personal testimonies focusing exclusively on genital surgery of female-to-male trans bodies. Stories document the intricacies, ups and downs of genital surgery and the many transformative ways it changes transsexual men's lives. These journeys of courage, risk, trial and triumph speak to readers of all walks of life. Testimonies are a valuable companion for those considering genital surgery and will educate others who want to learn more about female-to-male gender transitions. Clinicians, therapists, and partners of trans men will also gain insight into a dimension of transitioning that is rarely discussed and learn how to support them in their quest.

"Genital surgery for transsexual men provides an initiation to manhood that is risk filled, physically daunting and transformational. These deeply personal, often contemplative essays both reveal and inform readers of the many levels of transformation taking place on this path. Any reader can intuitively grasp the importance of these surgeries, which heal at an acute intersection of identity and technology."
-- Max Wolf Valerio, Author of The Testosterone Files
