Purchase options and add-ons

Transgender studies is the latest area of academic inquiry to grow out of the exciting nexus of queer theory, feminist studies, and the history of sexuality. Because transpeople challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the relationship between bodies, desire, and identity, the field is both fascinating and contentious. The Transgender Studies Reader puts between two covers fifty influential texts with new introductions by the editors that, taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists and academically-based theorists, this volume will be a foundational text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and related queer theory.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"As both a prefix and an adjective, 'trans' goes over, across, and beyond, making the possibilities seem endless for trans(gender) studies. However, to advance or progress requires some point of departure. For trans(gender) studies to evolve, we must have a solid understanding of where it all began. The Transgender Studies Reader is indispensable for its ability to encapsulate the century of dialog that has become what appears to be a decade-old phenomenon."

― Brice Smith, Women's Studies Quarterly

5.0 out of 5 stars The Vast Diversity of Transgender Experience
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
This text is first in the canon of transgender literature. It is a must read for students of gender studies and persons questioning the gender assigned them at birth. Dr Stryker has compiled 50 readings on the multifaceted expression of gender in diverse cultural settings found throughout the world. She also touches on Intersexuality (Disorders of Sexual Development or DSDs) which is now considered a Specifier in the diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria.

5.0 out of 5 stars Major Turning Points in Understanding Transgenderism and Gender Variant Expressions
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
Thought it was an outstanding selection of writings over the last two centuries, along with educational commentary, that led to major changes in understanding variant gender expressions and social changes regarding the acceptance of various gender expressions. These changes have led to a fast growing acceptance of varied gender expressions and to an important new academic discipline of "Transgender Studies."
