Societies around the world are struggling to think clearly about
trans realities and understand trans identities. Real
Gender is the first book to present a cis defence
of what it means to be transgender. Moyal-Sharrock and
Sandis delve into the various factors which make many trans
people’s experience of their gender (or lack thereof) as natural
and unquestionable as that of cis people. While recognising
the undeniably social aspects of gender, they find that gender
cannot be completely divorced from our biological
underpinnings. Contrary to popular opinion, gender
self-identification does not require the denial of either biology
or sex. What is needed is a more liberal understanding of our
gender concepts, which would prevent us from confusing diversity
with pathology. Steeped in published and personal trans
testimonials, Real Gender does not seek to
provoke or attack, but to unequivocally defend trans realities. A
powerful exploration of a divisive topic, this
book will be of interest to a wide audience of readers.
