Reviews

“Wide-ranging in its explorations, this slim volume aims to provide some wisdom at a pivotal moment in trans history. . . . There is much to recommend this text, including its introductory review of some recent trans scholarship and its gloss of contemporary challenges facing the trans community.”
*Hypatia*

"More than just an account of gender variability, this book provides suggestions for reframing our perceptions of the gendered body and opens up tantalizing possibilities for the future. This is an essential purchase for all libraries serving gender studies programs at all levels."
*Resources for Gender and Women's Studies: A Feminist Review*

"This is no inaccessible tome full of prose and obfuscating jargon; it is friendly and approaches a broad range of subjects, making it a good 'gateway book' for the field of transgender studies."
*QED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking*
