“…gives us perspective into the long history of gender variance and its natural place in human cultures…”—Feminist ReviewGirshick, a sociologist and social justice activist, brings together the voices of sex- and gender-diverse people who speak with absolute candor about their lives. She exposes the guilt and the shame that “gender police” use in their attempts to exert control and points out the many ways transpeople are discriminated against in daily life, from filling out identification documents to gender-segregated bathrooms.By showing us a variety of descriptions of diverse real lives and providing a thorough exploration of the embodied experiences of gender variant people, Girshick demonstrates that there is nothing inherently binary about gender, and that the way each of us experiences our own gender is, in fact, normal and natural.. In this extraordinary book, based on 150 in-depth interviews, Lori B. Girshick presents transpeople speaking in their own voices about identity, coming out, passing, sexual orientation, relationship negotiations and the dynamics of attraction, homophobia (including internalized fears), and bullyingIt also reminds me how to let go of things that can let you down and to have a positive outlook in your life.Two thumbs up for this book and will definitely share it with my friends!!.

She starts from the very basic definitions and goes all the way to the most intricate aspects of being transgender. The errata runs to 42 pagesBuy the second edition not this one.That is why I gave 4 stars to a 5 star book. . DSP involves a lot of maths. Those who put this in the "Freud bashing" category appear not to desire an objective evaluation of Freud as a clinician nor as a scientist: Kramer presents the reader with such in a lively and precise way. This is an excellent, objective, and readable evaluation of the work and legacy of Sigmund Freud. It has been argued
