Very enlightening look at the variety of people that can be found in the transgender community. Can get confusing at times, since there is often not entire agreement on gender terms from region to region or across ethnicities. The strength of this book is that it is based on individual experiences of transgender people. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Although transgender people are increasingly represented in academic studies and popular culture, they rarely have the opportunity to add their own voices to the conversation. In this remarkable book, the author records the stories of more than thirty Americans who identify as transgender. They range in age from fifteen to seventy-two; come from twenty-five different states and a wide array of racial, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds; and identify across a vast spectrum of genders and sexualities.

I'd been reading some radical feminism critiques of transgender issues online lately that were pissing me off, but also made me realize how little of my gender and orientation reading was about trans-identities, compared to LGB, or especially I. I'd applied a lot of what I'd learned reading about intersex conditions/identities to transgender issues, but how well did that really fit?
Enter Schultz's timely oral history collection. The diversity of voices collected here is really admirable, and was exactly what I was looking for. There are a lot of celebrity transfolk (especially MTW) biographies grabbing press today, but that reality is just such a small fragment of the spectrum of experience.
I especially appreciated and got woke by the sections on intersectionality, on how trans-identity is affected by race, gender, disability, medical issues, culture, class, etc.
I wanted to find all of these people and hug them.
A very useful and important book. Very difficult to put down. ( )
