Trans Kids is a trenchant ethnographic and interview-based study of
the first generation of families affirming and facilitating gender
nonconformity in children. Earlier generations of parents sent such
children for psychiatric treatment aimed at a cure, but today, many
parents agree to call their children new names, allow them to wear
whatever clothing they choose, and approach the state to alter the
gender designation on their passports and birth certificates.
Drawing from sociology, philosophy, psychology, and sexuality
studies, sociologist Tey Meadow depicts the intricate social
processes that shape gender acquisition. Where once atypical gender
expression was considered a failure of gender, now it is a form of
gender. Engaging and rigorously argued, Trans Kids underscores the
centrality of ever more particular configurations of gender in both
our physical and psychological lives, and the increasing
embeddedness of personal identities in social institutions.
