Sisterhood:
The Untold Story (published 1990)
This
true-life anthology catapulted the author to celebrity status as he
explored the helter-skelter world of the "sisters" - the tranvestitles
and transsexuals of Singapore. Their masks of mascara and frivolity
are stripped bare...from the first stirring realisations of adolescent
lust to the terrifying dilemma of sex surgery. Joash Moo shatters the
prejudices and taboos of our AIDS-mania age in an honest, never-before
revealed insight.
"...the
first in local literary history to deal with the social phenomena."

sensitive book on transvestites..." The Star newspaper, Malaysia.
