Transgender, gender variant and intersex people are in every sector
of all societies, yet little is known about their relationship to
place. Using a trans, feminist and queer geographical framework,
this book invites readers to consider the complex relationship
between transgender people, spaces and places. This book addresses
questions such as, how is place and space transformed by gender
variant bodies, and vice versa? Where do some gender variant people
feel in and / or out of place? What happens to space when binary
gender is unravelled and subverted? Exploring the diverse politics
of gender variant embodied experiences through interviews and
community action, this book demonstrates that gendered bodies are
constructed through different social, cultural and economic
networks. Firsthand stories and international examples reveal how
transgender people employ practices and strategies to both create
and contest different places, such as: bodies; homes; bathrooms;
activist spaces; workplaces; urban night spaces; nations and
transnational borders. Arguing that bodies, gender, sex and space
are inextricably linked, this book brings together contemporary
scholarly debates, original empirical material and popular culture
to consider bodies and spaces that revolve around, and resist,
binary gender. It will be a valuable resource in Geography, Gender
and Sexuality studies.
