Featuring more than 20 original voices, all with a great deal to say about today's transgender experience, this illuminating collection offers a brand-new tone for the literary world. Complemented by the extraordinary photographs of renowned transgender photographer Robert Hamblin, these unique stories are interspersed with discussion chapters, body maps, and archival material. The true accounts collected here touch on the isolation and despair that many individuals in this marginalized group feel and each explains the need to counter negative stereotypes, reduce discrimination, and

"Transforming Citizenships engages the performativity of citizenship as it relates to transgender individuals and advocacy groups. Instead of reading the law as a set of self-executing discourses, Isaac West takes up transgender rights claims as performative productions of complex legal subjectivities capable of queering accepted understandings of genders, sexualities, and the normative forces of the law. Drawing on an expansive archive, from the correspondence of a transwoman arrested for using a public bathroom in Los Angeles in 1954 to contemporary lobbying efforts of national transgender advocacy organizations, West advances a rethinking of law as capacious rhetorics of citizenship, justice, equality, and freedom. When approached from this perspective, citizenship can be recuperated from its status as the bad object of queer politics to better understand how legal discourses open up sites for identification across identity categories and enable political activities that escape the analytics of heteronormativity and homonationalism. Isaac West is Assistant Professor in the Departments of Communication Studies and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa"--

Transgender employees may suffer from discrimination due to transphobia. This article evaluates a pedagogical intervention designed to reduce the transphobia of North American undergraduate business students. Participants were enrolled in an organizational behavior course. They resolved a simulated dispute between coworkers over accommodating the bathroom choices of a transgender employee. Answers were classified as demonstrating inclusion, compliance, or hostility with the inclusive response being the establishment of gender-neutral restrooms and the hostile response being refusal to accept the transgender employee's bathroom choice. In the first year, 194 students completed the exercise with no advance preparation, while in the second year, 221 students performed the same task after reading a brief article about transgender employees. Results suggest that the intervention was effective as the inclusive response was most popular in the second year even though it had been least popular in the first year. Complete success was not attained, as one sixth of the students in the second year chose hostile responses. Implications for research, teaching, and practice are discussed.

Raum und Gesellschaft bedingen einander. Doch was prägt den Raum, wie wird er hergestellt? In dieser ethnographischen Studie wird Raumproduktion erstmalig aus der Perspektive sozialer Praktiken erforscht und mit heteronormativer Zweigeschlechtlichkeit in Verbindung gebracht. Am Beispiel der Heterotopie der Drag-King- und Transgender-Szene werden körper- und interaktionsbezogene Aspekte von Raumproduktion und Geschlechtskonstruktion, die Materialität und der sozialhistorische Kontext von Orten und Räumen sowie die Rolle sozialer Normen für die Raumproduktion beleuchtet.

Since the mid-1990s, there has been a seismic shift in attitudes toward gay and lesbian people, with a majority of Americans now supporting same-sex marriage and relations between same-sex, consenting adults. However, support for transgender individuals lags far behind; a significant majority of Americans do not support the right of transgender people to be free from discrimination in housing, employment, public spaces, health care, legal documents, and other areas. In this book, Melissa R. Michelson and Brian F. Harrison examine what tactics are effective in changing public opinion regarding transgender people.
