The White Book is written and edited by Dr. Stephen Whittle, a trans man who began living in his new role over 20 years ago. A Senior lecturer in Law, he is also co-ordinator of the FTM Network, as well as being vice president of Press For Change.

The White Book is written in an easy and accessible style, to enable female to male transsexual and transgender people (including those who are exploring whether they are female to male) and their families and friends, to get to grips with many of the scary and difficult issues that trans men have to face. It is meant to make life easier — and that is what it does. This is a guide book for living — not hiding.
