Gender 101: An A-Z Handbook & Exploration

Gender diversity is an umbrella term used to describe gender identities that demonstrate a diversity of expression beyond the binary framework. It refers to how a person’s gender identity, role, or expression differs from the cultural norms prescribed for people of a particular sex. Ms. Savannah Hauk, as a person on their own continuing journey of discovering what it means to express themselves in a way outside their binary birth sex, explores the mythos of the established Western Culture view of gender and what has been set as determinable as socially acceptable when it comes to proper gender presentation.
In Gender 101: An A-Z Handbook & Exploration, Ms. Hauk tackles the following:

  • How our gender identity is based on more than our biology or genitalia.
  • How there is so much gender diversity in the rest of the animal kingdom.
  • How gender dysphoria can be tied to existing scientific evidence.
  • Where researchers got gender diversity right and where they got it wrong.
  • How descriptive gender labels became stigmatized, and how we are ‘taking them back.’
  • How what we wear and how often we express ourselves is reflective of our authentic gender identity.
  • How our concept of self is critical in defining true authentic gender identity.

Gender 101: An A-Z Handbook & Exploration is a study of how one’s gender-diverse presentation and persona is one shining star in a galaxy of options, a lesson in breaking down pre-conceived notions about gender, and how the concept of our ideal and authentic self is informed and influenced by both external forces and internal struggles. For anyone looking for a culmination of ideas concerning how one sees one’s gender and how to develop a stronger and prouder sense of self, this book is for you!

Living with Crossdressing – Defining a New Normal

Living with Crossdressing – Defining a New Normal has been written with a dual purpose in mind. I wish to help the struggling crossdresser to discover more about himself and to find a life balance. I hope to provide encouragement for the cis-people in the crossdresser’s life, allowing them to understand the authentic person in front of them.

I hope to impart important qualities in your journey of discovery or self-discovery.

  • Honesty  – with yourself and those around you.
  • Selflessness – focusing on yourself does not have to keep you from focusing on those you love.
  • Finding balance – keep yourself from being pushed or pulled in any one direction too far, keeping centered and grounded.

Are you a cis-woman partner of a man who crossdresses? Are you struggling with what it means to be in a relationship with a man who you have discovered – by accident or his own admission – enjoys wearing feminine clothing?

Join me as I set out to uncover some of the reasons why so many men (including myself) dress as women. Read the stories of real couples who are looking for a new balance in their relationships, including the point of views of the women who decided to stand by their… ahem… men as they learn to better understand their crossdresser and learn how to cope and thrive.

Somewhere amid the misconceptions, stereotypes, and ignorance is the truth about non-transitioning, non- fetish, crossdressing men. But more than that is the strength and care of the women who continue to love and support them.

Living with Crossdressing – Discovering Your True Identity

Borrowing from and expanding on Living with Crossdressing – Defining a New Normal, Savannah Hauk’s new Discovering Your True Identity goes beyond relationships to discuss the more self-assessing and self-discovery topics of gender and sexual identity. Savannah Hauk is back to bring non-transitioning male-to-female crossdressers the information and tools needed to best discover their own balance.

We are unique creatures, each striving to fit within the fabric of society. But, what makes us who we are? From the complexities of our biology, to how we grow into our gender identity and our physical outward expression, to how we would like to be addressed, to whom we are sexually and romantically attracted, the answers are the sum parts of the whole of us.

While some of the reading will sound familiar, Living with Crossdressing: Discovering Your True Identity takes you, dear crossdresser, on a personal journey of self-discovery. It will allow you to ask yourself the most important questions about your dual gender identity. The answers to why you need a beautiful periodic feminine expression are waiting. You only need a little bit of courage and honesty to uncover and discover them for yourself.


Living with Crossdressing – Defining a New Normal, Living with Crossdressing: Discovering Your True Identity and Gender 101: An A-Z Handbook & Exploration are now available for ordering in paperback and digital download.

  1. This book has been a wonderful read, and last week I finally had the courage to tell my partner of 13 years that I am and have been a crossdresser since I was in grade school. Although she has accepted this part of me, I realize that this is only the beginning of the journey we have in front of us. Thank you Savannah for sharing your story which helped me to open up to the love of my life. My partner has started to read this book and I hope it helps her the way it has helped me.

  2. If someone wanted to, could someone get a signed hardcover
