In this extraordinary book, based on 150 in-depth interviews, Lori
B. Girshick, a sociologist and social justice activist, brings
together the voices of sex- and gender-diverse people who speak
with absolute candor about their lives. Girshick presents
transpeople speaking in their own voices about identity, coming
out, passing, sexual orientation, relationship negotiations and the
dynamics of attraction, homophobia (including internalized fears),
and bullying. She exposes the guilt and the shame that "gender
police" use in their attempts to exert control and points out the
many ways transpeople are discriminated against in daily life, from
filling out identification documents to gender-segregated
bathrooms.
By showing us a variety of descriptions of diverse real lives and
providing a thorough exploration of the embodied experiences of
gender variant people, Girshick demonstrates that there is nothing
inherently binary about gender, and that the way each of us
experiences our own gender is, in fact, normal and natural.
