Geschlechterinszenierungen haben eine lange Geschichte, die sich sowohl in literarischen als auch in künstlerischen und medialen Umsetzungen und Verhandlungen von Transgender und Crossdressing zeigt. Vom Mythos bis zur Gegenwart umspannen die Beiträge des Sammelbandes diese Inszenierungen vom 16. bis 21. Jahrhundert auf der Grundlage aktueller Forschungsansätze aus der Geschlechterforschung und Kulturtheorie. Damit liefern sie einen innovativen Überblick, der grenzüberschreitende und transkulturelle Lektüren ermöglicht: von William Shakespeare über Don Giovanni und Virginia Woolf bis zu Gabriel Baur, der Regisseurin von »Venus Boyz« (2002)

Transgender student protections are at the center of the most recent debate about the scope of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Although LGBTQ+ rights and protections have greatly expanded under all areas of the law in the last thirty years, transgender student rights have most successfully advanced through the judicial system. Through a close evaluation of executive, judicial, and legislative responses to this compelling policy issue, the development of transgender student rights is explored. This analysis, which provides a comprehensive overview of the current legal landscape of transgender student protections, ultimately determines that the courts are the best avenue for securing transgender student protections under the law. This research contributes fresh insight into the transgender student rights debate in order to further support and legitimize the argument for extending Title IX's protections, especially through litigation on behalf of LGBTQ+ students.

In 2014, the Department of Defense began a broad review of transgender military service. Following this review, in 2016, the Obama Administration announced a policy of transgender inclusion in the military. However, in 2017, before enactment of that policy, President Trump announced the reinstatement of a ban on transgender military service. Although, in the last five years, these events have garnered much media attention, sociologists have generally left them unexplored. In this article, I begin the process of incorporating transgender military experience into sociological discussions by examining how transgender service members navigate their uncertain status vis‐à‐vis military service. In so doing, I explore how transgender personnel might be "doing transgender" (Connell, Gender & Society24(1):31) in the context of shifting norms about who can and cannot officially exist within the ranks of the military as well as possibilities for future research examining transgender military experience more broadly.

Transgender people face an uncertain legal climate, and efforts to include gender identity in policies have been met with both successes and failures. These policies are often developed in the legislative process, which directly involve public opinion. To date, there is only one study analyzing American public attitudes toward transgender people. This research gap makes it unclear whether people in general understand what transgender means and whether public support for transgender rights depends on understanding and knowing transgender people. Since the population of transgender people is estimated to be smaller than that of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, examining whether and how having a friend or family member who is lesbian or gay relates to transgender rights is important to understand political coalitions and attitude change. This study examines public attitudes about transgender rights in the USA. It finds that as respondents report being more informed about transgender people they tend to have more supportive attitudes. Interpersonal contact with someone who is lesbian or gay also leads to a secondary transfer of positive attitudes. About half of the secondary transfer effect operates through a mechanism of attitude generalization: contact positively affects the opinions people have on gay rights that then broaden to affect attitudes on transgender rights. Demographic characteristics also indicate that predictors of transgender attitudes are similar to previous studies regarding attitudes toward lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. Further survey efforts need to consider inquiring about transgender rights and attitudes, as this remains a research gap in need of scholarly understanding.

This research has done to know how transgender people are represented in Bangladeshi film. Research found that transgender people are highly misrepresented in film and for this misrepresentation- they have to pay to achieve their rights from society. Hence, to work for the betterment of the transgender community in Bangladesh; it is important to know their representation style in Bangladeshi film. This paper has analysed the film Common Gender based on the content analysis method and the film narratology method while the representation theory worked as its theoretical framework. This paper found the film has represented transgender people in the same way that the Bangladeshi dominant society thinks about transgender people. There are no differences between the representation style and the reality. Hence, it can be argued that Bangladeshi films are influenced by the Bangladeshi dominant culture and transgender people have to pay to achieve their rights from society.

Abstract"In an era of intense anti‐transgender legislation attacking the rights of transgender adolescents, it is more important than ever to examine how transgender and nonbinary persons make claims of legitimacy. Transgender childhood narratives have historically been used as a tool to make one's transgender identity intelligible to others and legitimize claims to a specific gender (e.g., "I have always known I am actually a girl, not a boy"). Nascent gender identification demonstrates that one's gender is predetermined by forces outside of their control. This essentialist logic provides a "natural" and "acceptable explanation" for transgender identity and transition. The integration of these childhood tropes into diagnostic criteria and popular media has established them as markers of "legitimate" transgender identity. Failure to use these narratives, even if they do not align with personal experiences, risks one's access to medical, legal, and social resources. This article explores transgender childhood narratives in‐depth, detailing their historical roots and the theoretical frameworks that give them legitimacy. I examine their continued importance in demarcating both transgender and nonbinary authenticity and review literature that highlights the influence of these narratives across various realms of social life, including health and healthcare, public perceptions, and social recognition and support."

While there is a growing body of literature on transgender men's experiences, relatively little exists to document the experiences of their partners. In 'Queering Families', Carla A. Pfeffer brings these experiences to life through interviews with the group most likely to partner and form families with transgender men: non-transgender (cisgender) women.
