      Authors’ Note

      We appreciate that many people identify gender in different ways. In this edition, we removed some of the binary wording we used in the first edition, but for ease of reading and to discuss certain medical issues, we chose to use some binary language. We respect and value all of our read-ers and hope that you find the information useful.

      —Janis and Donna
