Summary:
"There is no one way to be
transgender
.
Transgender
and gender non-conforming people have many different ways of understanding their gender identities. Only recently have sex and gender been thought of as separate concepts, and we have learned that sex (traditionally thought of as physical or biological) is as variable as gender (traditionally thought of as social). While trans people share many common experiences, there is immense diversity within trans communities. There are an estimated 700,000 transgendered individuals in the US and 15 million worldwide. Even still, there's been a notable lack of organized information for this sizable group. This is a guide for
transgender
people, written by
transgender
or genderqueer authors. Inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, the classic and powerful compendium written for and by women, this book provides information in an inclusive and respectful way and representing the collective knowledge base of dozens of influential experts. Each chapter deals with an important
transgender
issue, such as race, religion, employment, medical and surgical transition, mental health topics, relationships, sexuality, parenthood, arts and culture. Anonymous quotes and testimonials from
transgender
people who have been surveyed about their experiences are woven throughout, adding personal voices. For
transgender
and gender-questioning people, their partners and families, students, professors, guidance counselors, and others to look for up-to-date information on
transgender
life"--Provided by publisher.
