"This important new book by Alessandra Lemma provides a succinct overview of psychoanalytic understandings, approaches, and controversies around transgender identifications. Illustrated with case vignettes, Lemma provides an up-to-date synthesis of current research and a critical overview of psychoanalytic approaches to transgender identities, distilling some of the contemporary controversies about how to approach the topic in the consulting room. Lemma also outlines a psychoanalytically informed ethical framework to support clinicians working with individuals who request medical transitioning and distils the ethical challenges faced by clinicians in light of the current emphasis on gender affirmative care. Part of the Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, this book is of great importance for psychoanalysts in practice, academics and all those with an interest in transgender identities and mental health"--

"A richly evocative collection of photographs by internationally renowned photographer Kike Arnal, Bordered Lives seeks to push back against the transphobic caricatures that have perpetuated discrimination against the transgender community in Mexico. Despite some important advances in recognizing and protecting the rights of its transgender community, including legislation against hate crimes targeting transgender people, discrimination still persists, and the majority of the often appallingly violent attacks against the LGBT community are against transgender women. In the highly personal profiles that make up Bordered Lives, including the first transgender couple to be married in Mexico and one of the country's most high-profile transgender entertainers, Arnal looks at seven individuals in and around Mexico City. He shows them going about their day-to-day lives: getting ready in the morning, interacting with family and friends, and devoting their lives to helping others in the transgender community. Moving in its honesty, Bordered Lives challenges society's preconceived notions of sexuality, gender, and beauty not only in Mexico but across the globe. "--

Das Thema "Transgender" wird hier mit grosser Offenheit präsentiert. Dieser Mann hat einen langen Weg hinter sich, um er selbst sein zu können und begeistert mit einer Lebensfreude, die sich sowohl in seiner Verletzlichkeit wie auch in seiner Stärke artikuliert. Er lässt nichts aus und weiss bei aller Intensität der emotionalen Achterbahnfahrt das Positive nicht zu vergessen. Je näher er seiner ureigenen Identität kommt, umso kraftvoller werden diese Impulse. Immer wieder gibt er anderen Raum, um ihre Sicht auf diese Transformation zu erzählen. Ein ganz hervorragender Beitrag über Widerstandskraft, der Transgender-Menschen sehr viel Kraft geben, aber auch allen anderen als Beispiel für ein starkes Leben dienen kann. (1)

Nichts erscheint so sicher wie der Unterschied zwischen den Geschlechtern. Die Verunsicherung ist daher groß, wenn der langjährige Kollege Müller ab sofort als "Frau Müller" angesprochen werden möchte. Und was tun, wenn der eigene Sohn auf einmal sagt, er sei eine Frau? Wie erklärt man seinen Kindern, dass Mama jetzt plötzlich Papa ist? Der Psychotherapeut Udo Rauchfleisch hilft Angehörigen, Freund:innen, Kolleg:innen und Vorgesetzten von Transgendern, das Phänomen Transidentität zu verstehen und trans Menschen ohne Berührungsängsten zu begegnen.

"Argentina was the first nation in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage. It also passed legislation making it one of the most advanced countries worldwide in terms of transgender rights—the culmination of a long battle fought by LGBTQ support groups. Award-winning photographer Kike Arnal collaborates with individuals in Argentinian transgender communities, living side by side with them and documenting their day-to-day lives in a series of strikingly intimate color and black-and-white images. Among them are a former sex worker who is now a recognized leader of the Buenos Aires trans community, a single trans mother of three teenage girls whose partner had fallen victim to drug abuse, and the residents of the Hotel Gondolin, a small, derelict family hotel now inhabited by a few dozen trans women. Despite the progress, the situation in Argentina is far from perfect. Trans people are still discriminated against and subject to verbal violence, physical assault, and police abuse. Of interest to LGBTQ activists and photography enthusiasts alike, Revealing Selves is both a celebration of the trans community in Argentina and a clear-eyed examination of what remains to be done in the struggle for trans rights." -- publisher's website

Transgender, Transkulturalität, Transnationalität - Konzepte des Trans erleben eine politische und wissenschaftliche Konjunktur. In ihnen geht die Forderung nach einer Öffnung von soziokulturellen Identitäten auf. Doch die fluide gewordenen Grenzen von nationalen, sozialen und körperlichen Räumen drohen sich in Traditionen und Neorassismen erneut zu verfestigen: So werden Werte der bürgerlichen Kleinfamilie ebenso wie rechtspopulistische Positionen nicht nur immer wieder thematisiert, sondern in verschiedenen medialen und sozialen Kanälen reproduziert. Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen daher: Durch welche Prozesse essentialisieren sich Transkonzepte - und an welchen normativen Grenzen zerbrechen sie?
