Die Geschichte der Trans(sexualität) in der Bundesrepublik ist eine Geschichte sich wandelnder Verständnisse von Geschlecht und Geschlechterordnung. Adrian de Silva betrachtet in seiner Dissertation die Entwicklungen und rechtlichen Auswirkungen dieser Verständnisse in Sexualwissenschaft, Rechtsprechung, Gesetzgebung und der Transgender-Bewegung. Er analysiert die Entstehungs- und Reformprozesse des Transsexuellengesetzes (Gesetz über die Änderung der Vornamen und die Feststellung der Geschlechtszugehörigkeit in besonderen Fällen) und seine folgenreiche Verquickung von Recht, Medizin und Geschlechterpolitik. Historische und aktuelle Debatten um die "Borders of the Gender Regime" in Deutschland lassen sich auf der Basis von de Silvas Buch neu verstehen und einordnen. ; The history of trans (sexuality) in the Federal Republic is a history of changing understandings of gender and gender order. In his dissertation, Adrian de Silva considers the developments and legal implications of these understandings in sexology, jurisprudence, legislation and the transgender movement. He analyzes the emergence and reform processes of the transsexual law (Gesetz über die Änderung der Vornamen und die Feststellung der Geschlechtszugehörigkeit in besonderen Fällen – law on the change of given names and the determination of gender in special cases) and its momentous amalgamation of law, medicine and gender politics. Historical and current debates on the "Borders of the Gender Regime" in Germany can be understood and categorized on the basis of de Silva's book.

Abstract
Drawing on Heather Love and Dan Irving, this piece argues that Rodrigo García's film Albert Nobbs has a place in transgender studies because it offers a cinematic opportunity to engage in feeling backward, to view sadness, dysphoria, and loneliness as part of an important, (re)current register of transgender affect.

Abstract
This section includes eighty-six short original essays commissioned for the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, "Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty-First-Century Transgender Studies," revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some contributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; others describe a term of art from another discipline or interdisciplinary area and show how it might relate to transgender studies. While far from providing a complete picture of the field, these keywords begin to elucidate a conceptual vocabulary for transgender studies. Some of the submissions offer a deep and resilient resistance to the entire project of mapping the field terminologically; some reveal yet-unrealized critical potentials for the field; some take existing terms from canonical thinkers and develop the significance for transgender studies; some offer overviews of well-known methodologies and demonstrate their applicability within transgender studies; some suggest how transgender issues play out in various fields; and some map the productive tensions between trans studies and other interdisciplines.
