Although the term "transgender" itself has achieved familiarity only within the past decade, this authoritative collection of articles demonstrates that the study of behaviors, bodies, and subjective identities which contest common Eurocentric notions of gender has a history stretching back at least to the early 20th century.
Before the First World War, European sexologists began to devise new terminology to describe gender-atypical individuals. By mid-century, feminist scholars had appropriated scientific paradigms that posited a distinction between bodily sex and psychosocial gender, and deployed them in politically radical ways that envisioned greater equality between genders. In the closing years of the last century, an upstart generation of queer theorists further disarticulated the presumed coherence of heteronormative personhood to create a broader awareness of just how diverse gendered identity can be.
The Transgender Reader encompasses all these critical and conceptual developments, gathering roughly fifty influential texts that, taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and experiences of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists and academic theorists, this volume will be a seminal text for transgender studies and related queer theory..

This poignant story takes us on a journey into the depths of fundamentalist states of mind, and out the other side. It's a true story about how members of a deeply religious family attempt through their belief system to gain meaning, guidance, and success in their lives. This family holds beliefs that determine the identities and actions of its members. Because these beliefs derive from genuine fears and longings, the experiences they elicit are genuine, as well. Some of these beliefs resonate with the most ideal of human values, and can lead to success. Others resonate with common human fears and can cause isolation and failure. There are genuine religious experiences we can have...and many of us do have...that show the interconnectedness of all things and the universality of us all This account shows that no ideology is needed for these experiences to create their results. The journey of the family shared in this book makes these dynamics more understandable. This understanding can help prevent the kinds of conflicts that occur in the world when religious believers become committed to irrevocable beliefs that divide them from the rest of humanity..
