There is no one way to be transgender. Transgender and gender
non-conforming people have many different ways of understanding
their gender identities. Only recently have sex and gender been
thought of as separate concepts, and we have learned that sex
(traditionally thought of as physical or biological) is as variable
as gender (traditionally thought of as social).
While trans people share many common experiences, there is immense
diversity within trans communities. There are an estimated 700,000
transgendered individuals in the US and 15 million worldwide. Even
still, there's been a notable lack of organized information for
this sizable group.
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is a revolutionary resource-a
comprehensive, reader-friendly guide for transgender people, with
each chapter written by transgender or genderqueer authors.
Inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, the classic and powerful
compendium written for and by women, Trans Bodies, TransSelves is
widely accessible to the transgender population, providing
authoritative information in an inclusive and respectful way and
representing the collective knowledge base of dozens of influential
experts. Each chapter takes the reader through an important
transgender issue, such as race, religion, employment, medical and
surgical transition, mental health topics, relationships,
sexuality, parenthood, arts and culture, and many more.
Anonymous quotes and testimonials from transgender people who have
been surveyed about their experiences are woven throughout, adding
compelling, personal voices to every page. In this unique way,
hundreds of viewpoints from throughout the community have united to
create this strong and pioneering book. It is a welcoming place for
transgender and gender-questioning people, their partners and
families, students, professors, guidance counselors, and others to
look for up-to-date information on transgender life.
