Outstanding range of curated materials showing the development of
transgender studies Includes historical perspective from 1910 up to
the latest research Interdisciplinary in nature Accurate account of
theoretical interventions in the field * The definitive volume in
the field of transgender studies and history of sexuality. There is
no other book out there like this one * Contains classic essays and
the most modern pieces available in the field * The editors are
trans celebrities and have broad appeal in the transgender
communities in the US and UK
Over the past twenty years, transgender studies has emerged as a
vibrant field of interdisciplinary scholarship. In 2006,
Routledge's The Transgender Studies Reader brought together the
first definitive collection of the field. Since its publication,
the field has seen an explosion of new work that has expanded the
boundaries of inquiry in many directions. The Transgender Studies
Reader 2 gathers these disparate strands of scholarship, and
collects them into a format that makes sense for teaching and
research. Complementing the first volume, rather than competing
with it, The Transgender Studies Reader 2 consists of fifty
articles, with a general introduction by the editors, explanatory
head notes for each essay, and bibliographical suggestions for
further research. Unlike the first volume, which was historically
based, tracing the lineage of the field, this volume focuses on
recent work and emerging trends. To keep pace with this rapidly
changing area, the second reader has a companion website, with
images, links to blogs, video, and other material to help
supplement the book. For more information, visit the companion

Covering American transgender history from the mid-twentieth
century to today, Transgender History takes a chronological
approach to the subject of transgender history, with each chapter
covering major movements, writings, and events. Chapters cover the
transsexual and transvestite communities in the years following
World War II; trans radicalism and social change, which spanned
from 1966 with the publication of The Transsexual Phenomenon, and
lasted through the early 1970s; the mid-'70s to 1990-the era of
identity politics and the changes witnessed in trans circles
through these years; and the gender issues witnessed through the
'90s and '00s. Transgender History includes informative sidebars
highlighting quotes from major texts and speeches in transgender
history and brief biographies of key players, plus excerpts from
transgender memoirs and discussion of treatments of transgenderism
in popular culture.

Transgender studies is the latest area of academic inquiry to grow
out of the exciting nexus of queer theory, feminist studies, and
the history of sexuality. Because transpeople challenge our most
fundamental assumptions about the relationship between bodies,
desire, and identity, the field is both fascinating and
contentious. The Transgender Studies Reader puts between two covers
fifty influential texts with new introductions by the editors that,
taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in
the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and
experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists and
academically-based theorists, this volume will be a foundational
text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and
related queer theory.

Contributors to this special issue of Transgender Studies Quarterly
discuss the field of trans studies during the first quarter of
2020, when TSQ's editorial leadership was changing and just before
COVID-19 transformed our lives and work. Essay topics include the
breakout visibility of Andrea Long Chu in mainstream media and her
widely-read critique of trans studies, the institutionalization of
trans studies at the University of Arizona and elsewhere, a dossier
of trans takes on the literary oeuvre of Kathy Acker, and
commentary on the ongoing public controversies regarding pediatric
transgender medicine.
This is the first introductory textbook intended for
transgender/trans studies at the undergraduate level. The book can
also be used for related courses in LGBTQ, queer, and
gender/feminist studies. It encompasses and connects global
contexts, intersecting identities, historic and contemporary
issues, literature, history, politics, art, and culture. Ardel
Haefele-Thomas embraces the richness of intersecting identities-how
race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, nation, religion, and
ability have cross-influenced to shape the transgender experience
and trans culture across and beyond the binary. Written by an
accomplished teacher with experience in a wide variety of higher
learning institutions, this new text inspires readers to explore
not only contemporary transgender issues and experiences but also
the global history of gender diversity through the ages.
Introduction to Transgender Studies features: -A welcoming approach
that creates a safe space for a wide range of students, from those
who have never thought about gender issues to those who identify as
transgender, trans, nonbinary, agender, and/or gender expansive.
-Writings from the Community essays that relate the chapter theme
to the lived experiences of trans and LGB people and allies from
different parts of the world. -Key concepts, film and media
suggestions, topics for discussion, activities, and ideas for
writing and research to engage students and serve as a review at
exam time. -Instructors' resources that will be available that
include key teaching points with discussion questions, activities,
research projects, tips for using the media suggestions, PowerPoint
presentations, and sample syllabi for various course
configurations. Intended for introductory transgender, LGBTQ+, or
gender studies courses through upper-level electives related to the
expanding field of transgender studies, this text has been
successfully class-tested in community colleges and public and
private colleges and universities.
"Celebratory, even radical"-The New Yorker
"Monumental"-Hyperallergic We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The
Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan narrates the inner life of a gay
man moving through the shifting social, political, and medical
mores of the second half of the 20th century. Sullivan kept
comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at
39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the
diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries
from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan's self-articulation and
the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure. 2020 LAMBDA
LITERARY AWARD WINNER
This special double issue of TSQ goes beyond the simplistic
dichotomy between an exclusionary transphobic feminism and an
inclusive trans-affirming feminism. Exploring the ways in which
trans issues are addressed within feminist and women’s
organizations and social movements around the world, contributors
ask how trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary issues are related to
feminist movements today, what kind of work is currently undertaken
in the name of trans/feminism, what new paradigms and visions are
emerging, and what questions still need to be taken up. Central to
this special issue is the recognition that trans/feminist politics
cannot restrict itself to the domain of gender alone. This issue
features numerous shorter works that represent the diversity of
trans/feminist practices and problematics and, in addition to
original research articles, includes theory, reports, manifestos,
opinion pieces, reviews, and creative/artistic productions, as well
as republished key documents of trans/feminist history and
international scholarship. Contributors: Miriam Abelson, Sara

Now available for the first time-more than 50 years after it was
written-is the memoir of Michael Dillon/Lobzang Jivaka (1915-62),
the British doctor and Buddhist monastic novice chiefly known to
scholars of sex, gender, and sexuality for his pioneering
transition from female to male between 1939 and 1949, and for his
groundbreaking 1946 book Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology.
Here at last is Dillon/Jivaka's extraordinary life story told in
his own words. Out of the Ordinary captures Dillon/Jivaka's various
journeys-to Oxford, into medicine, across the world by ship-within
the major narratives of his gender and religious journeys. Moving
chronologically, Dillon/Jivaka begins with his childhood in
Folkestone, England, where he was raised by his spinster aunts, and
tells of his days at Oxford immersed in theology, classics, and
rowing. He recounts his hormonal transition while working as an
auto mechanic and fire watcher during World War II and his surgical
transition under Sir Harold Gillies while Dillon himself attended
medical school. He details his worldwide travel as a ship's surgeon
in the British Merchant Navy with extensive commentary on his
interactions with colonial and postcolonial subjects, followed by
his "outing" by the British press while he was serving aboard The
City of Bath. Out of the Ordinary is not only a salient record of
an early sex transition but also a unique account of religious
conversion in the mid-twentieth century. Dillon/Jivaka chronicles
his gradual shift from Anglican Christianity to the esoteric
spiritual systems of George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky to
Theravada and finally Mahayana Buddhism. He concludes his memoir
with the contested circumstances of his Buddhist monastic
ordination in India and Tibet. Ultimately, while Dillon/Jivaka died
before becoming a monk, his novice ordination was significant: It
made him the first white European man to be ordained in the Tibetan
Buddhist tradition. Out of the Ordinary is a landmark publication
that sets free a distinct voice from the history of the transgender
movement.
A unique first-hand account of a historical gay trans man's whole
life, which reads like a celebratory coming-of-age novel. Lou kept
candid diaries from the age of 10. Through these extracts, we hear
Lou's life in his own words: from 'playing boys' in his childhood
in Wisconsin, to cruising San Francisco's gay bars for handsome
'youngmen'; from first hearing about gender non-conforming
communities, to becoming a vital part of them as an activist,
author, and archivist. Lou navigated his identity with few role
models and was perhaps the first publicly gay transgender man.
Successfully campaigning to remove heterosexuality from the medical
requirements for gender affirming surgery, Lou was pivotal in our
modern understanding of gender and sexuality as distinct
identities. After he was diagnosed with HIV in 1986, he remarked
that he had been told by clinics that 'it was impossible for me to
live as a gay man, but it looks like I'm gonna die like one.' This
selection shows Lou's joyous love of life, men, and sex. * LAMBDA

INTRODUCTION BY SUSAN STRYKER 'Chatty and tender, casually poetic

"TSQ" aims to be the journal of record for the rapidly emerging
field of transgender studies. The inaugural issue,
"Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a 21st-Century Transgender
Studies," pays homage to Sandy Stone's field-defining
"Posttranssexual Manifesto" and assesses where the field is now and
where it seems to be heading. Comprising over eighty short essays
by authors ranging from graduate students to senior scholars, the
issue takes on such topics as biopolitics, disability, political
economy, childhood, trans-of-color critique, area studies,
translation, pathologization, the state, and animal studies. Some
keyword entries resemble encyclopedia articles (sports,
psychoanalysis); others are poetic meditations on concepts
(capacity, transition); still others offer whimsical and eccentric
expositions of words that are more unexpected-and unexpectedly
productive (perfume, hips). Some entries pose trenchant resistances
to the keyword concept itself. The issue includes a substantive
introduction by the editors and serves as a primer for readers
encountering transgender studies for the first time.
