TransForming gender

Angebote / Angebote:

This book is a major contribution to contemporary gender and sexuality studies. At a time when transgender practices are the subject of increasing social and cultural visibility, this book marks the first UK study of transgender identity formation. Drawing on extensive interviews with transgender people, TransForming Gender offers engaging, moving, and, at times, humorous accounts of the experiences of gender transition. Written in an accessible style, it provides a vivid insight into the diversity of gender identity in today's world. The book addresses changing UK government legislation concerning the citizenship rights of transgendered people. It also examines the impact of legislative shifts upon transgendered people's identities, intimate relationships, and practices of care. TransForming Gender encompasses key approaches from the fields of psychoanalysis, anthropology, sexual minority studies, sociology, and gender theory.
