How the "bad feelings" of trans experience inform trans survival
and flourishing Some days-or weeks, or months, or even years-being
trans feels bad. Yet as Hil Malatino points out, there is little
space for trans people to think through, let alone speak of, these
bad feelings. Negative emotions are suspect because they unsettle
narratives of acceptance or reinforce virulently phobic framings of
trans as inauthentic and threatening. In Side Affects, Malatino
opens a new conversation about trans experience that acknowledges
the reality of feeling fatigue, envy, burnout, numbness, and rage
amid the ongoing onslaught of casual and structural transphobia in
order to map the intricate emotional terrain of trans survival.
Trans structures of feeling are frequently coded as negative on
both sides of transition. Before transition, narratives are framed
in terms of childhood trauma and being in the "wrong body."
Posttransition, trans individuals-especially trans people of
color-are subject to unrelenting transantagonism. Yet trans
individuals are discouraged from displaying or admitting to
despondency or despair. By moving these unloved feelings to the
center of trans experience, Side Affects proposes an affective
trans commons that exists outside political debates about
inclusion. Acknowledging such powerful and elided feelings as anger
and exhaustion, Malatino contends, is critical to motivating
justice-oriented advocacy and organizing-and recalibrating new
possibilities for survival and well-being.

Within these pages James K. Beggan puts forward a novel approach to
understanding sexual harassment by high value superstars in the
workplace. The approach integrates ideas derived from evolutionary
theory, utility theory, sexual scripting theory and research on the
regulation of emotion. Besides providing a better understanding of
the phenomenon, the book aims to contribute to the development of
better techniques to prevent sexual harassment. Recently, credible
allegations of sexual misconduct against high profile figures have
dominated the news. Sexual harassment has become an important issue
for leaders and those who study leadership. The author presents a
new approach to understanding sexual harassment in the #MeToo era
that integrates research from a diverse range of areas typically
ignored by researchers. Ideas derived from this new approach are
used to propose more effective methods for the elimination of
sexual harassment in the workplace. The book also addresses how
efforts to prevent sexual harassment may interfere with the free
expression of sexuality and ultimately threaten the rights of the
individual. Academics and journalists interested in understanding
sexual harassment, including graduate students, and undergraduates
enrolled in upper division specialized courses in gender relations
will find this book to be innovative and informative.
