It is only recently that transgenderism has been accepted as a
disorder for which treatment is available. In the 1990s, a
political movement of transgender activism coalesced to campaign
for transgender rights. Considerable social, political and legal
changes are occurring in response and there is increasing
acceptance by governments and many other organisations and actors
of the legitimacy of these rights. This provocative and
controversial book explores the consequences of these changes and
offers a feminist perspective on the ideology and practice of
transgenderism, which the author sees as harmful. It explores the
effects of transgenderism on the lesbian and gay community, the
partners of people who transgender, children who are identified as
transgender and the people who transgender themselves, and argues
that these are negative. In doing so the book contends that the
phenomenon is based upon sex stereotyping, referred to as 'gender'
- a conservative ideology that forms the foundation for women's
subordination. Gender Hurts argues for the abolition of 'gender',
which would remove the rationale for transgenderism. This book will
be of interest to scholars and students of political science,
feminism and feminist theory and gender studies.
