Gender is the mine field we pass through every day. In the United
States of materialism, gender is all too often determined by which
anatomical sex you are. From birth we are bombarded with gender
propaganda that supports a repressive dual gender system that pits
the sexes and the genders against each other. Transgenderists as
gender nonconformists challenge us to rethink traditional
discourses on sex and gender. Transgender Nation dares to look at
the male-to-woman transgenderist and transsexual from a
sociocultural and socio-political perspective and maintains that it
is not the individual transgenderist that is sick and in need of
treatment but rather the culture that must be treated. Transgender
Nation explores historical sexological categories and decodes
contemporary medical transsexual ideology, charging that
contemporary "treatments" like sex reassignment surgery all too
often encourage assimilation and negate differences. Proposals for
endocrinological euthanasia are examined for what they reveal about
persona and cultural attitudes about gender. In addition popular
cultural representations of transgenderists as homocidal maniacs
dressed to kill are contrasted with the grim reality that in a
transgenderphobic, homophobic, and misogynistic culture they are
more likely to be killed because they dress.
