Gender as a social class along with its concomitant heteronormative
gender coercion seem to be intransigent across time and cultures.
But across these cultures we also see a degree of nonconforming
behaviour which very often carries significant multi-dimensions of
stigma and risk; because the exception proves the rule, an
understanding of gender nonconformity sheds light on the normative
operation of gender in society. A Feminist Post-transsexual
Autoethnography attempts to demythologise trans and gender
diversity by conducting an in-depth critical analysis of the life
choices of the autoethnographic subject (the author), who was so
uncomfortable with their culturally allocated masculinity that they
chose to live an apparently normal female life. The research is
post-transsexual in that the subject forgoes passing in their
affirmed gender to ensure the integrity of the data. A Feminist
Post-transsexual Autoethnography may primarily appeal to students
and researchers interested in the Sociology of Gender and Sociology
of Trans and Gender Diversity, as well as the broader areas of
embodiment and power differentials based on gender, class,
nationality, location, temporality, sexuality and gender
(non)conformity. This insightful volume may also be of interest to
those within the fields Health Promotion and Education, Human
Rights, Social Justice and Equity or the Social and Cultural
Anthropology of Gender.
