Transgender Rights
Paisley Currah, Richard M. Juang, and Shannon Price Minter, editors
(2006) University of Minnesota Press - 400 pages (paper)

The first comprehensive work on the transgender civil rights movement.

About The Book:

Over the past three decades, the transgender movement has gained visibility and achieved significant victories. Discrimination has been prohibited in several states, dozens of municipalities, and more than two hundred private companies, while hate crime laws in eight states have been amended to include gender identity. Yet prejudice and violence against transgender people remain all too common.

With analysis from legal and policy experts, activists and advocates, Transgender Rights assesses the movement?s achievements, challenges, and opportunities for future action. Examining crucial topics like family law, employment policies, public health, economics, and grassroots organizing, this groundbreaking book is an indispensable resource in the fight for the freedom and equality of those who cross gender boundaries. Moving beyond media representations to grapple with the real lives and issues of transgender people, Transgender Rights will launch a new moment for human rights activism in America.

Reviews

?The essays in Transgender Rights challenge us to redefine our concepts of sec and gender while examining the many obstacles facing the trans movement. This book is an excellent resource of the subject of queer theory.? ?Standout Magazine

?An impressive compilation of work form lawyers and scholars whose contributions range form disturbing to inspirational.? ?TransNation

?Here we have what many anthologies aspire to be and the best achieve: a book that houses a lively, informative array of ideas, opinions, suggestions, arguments, and purposes. Here we also have what more anthologies should seek to be: a book of political and social importance that seldom simplifies the groups it portrays or the world it seeks to influence, making it a valuable volume not merely for the people most immediately affected by the issues raise, but also for anyone with a commitment to social justice.? ?RainTaxi

?The first comprehensive work on the transgender civil rights movement, this invaluable book offers legal analysis and critical essays that move beyond media representations to grapple with the real lives and issues of transgender people.? ?Curve

?Transgender Rights is a must for any transperson, family member, or parent who is concerned with transgenders? legal rights.? ?Dave Parker, President of PFLAG Transgender Network

?At last! Transgender Rights is the only book any activist, ally, or family member should really need to figure out the tactics of most if not all gender bullies and stop them dead in their tracks. Yippee for the good guys, the good grrls, and all the rest of us good folks.? ?Kate Bornstein, author of Hello, Cruel World

?This is a cutting-edge book full of new information and new ideas.? ?Patrick Califia, author of Public Sex and Sex Changes

?A valuable contribution to understanding this evolving edge of human experience.? ?Susan Stryker, independent scholar and filmmaker
