Autor majstrovsky využíva vedomú a silnú reflexivitu na všetky aspekty a fázy svojho skúmania. Zároveň poskytuje kultivovaný a znalosťami podložený ponor do prežívania rodovo nebinárneho človeka, prezentovaný a prítomný v celom texte. (prof. PhDr. Viera Bačová, DrSc) Kniha zaujímavým spôsobom prepojuje tri dimenzie situovanosti autora (vedca, aktivistu a človeka v procese tranzície). Táto špecifická situovanosť a pozicionalita je zároveň systematicky a citlivo reflektovaná v celom procese výskumu (interakcie so skúmanými). Preto sa domnievam, že táto kniha má aj vzdelávací rozmer - môže slúžiť ako metodologická učebnica autoetnografie pre odbory, ako sú sociálna antropológia či sociológia. (Mgr. Petra Ezzeddine, PhD)

Nora wordt geboren als Aaron. Al van kinds af aan voelt ze dat ze niet in het juiste lichaam geboren is. Maar om de weg naar zichzelf te vinden moet ze heel wat obstakels overwinnen: zowel in de maatschappij als in zichzelf. Dit is haar eerlijke en ontroerende verhaal. 'Elke mens gaat in het leven op zoek naar zichzelf. Allemaal bewandelen we onze eigen weg op zoek naar ultiem geluk. Daarin verschillen we niet van elkaar. Het is nu tijd om mijn leven als één geheel te zien, en niet langer in twee duidelijke delen - voor en na mijn operatie. Mijn toekomst lacht naar me. En ik lach terug. Ik ben niet langer bang voor het onzekere, voor de liefde of om nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten. Sterker dan ooit zal ik elk avontuur met beide handen grijpen. Want ik ben Nora. Helemaal Nora.'

In this brilliant introduction to trans politics, journalist Shon Faye gives an incisive overview of systemic transphobia and argues that the struggle for trans rights is necessary to any struggle for social justice.So often, Faye argues, trans people are understood as a "side issue," the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized debate which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice.With skill, rigor, and heart, Faye uncovers the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society. In this compellingly readable study, she explores issues of class, family, housing, healthcare, sex work, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities. What she finds, ultimately, is that when we fight for trans liberation, we fight for a better world for us all.

Every body contains multitudes, but no body is immune to the ideology of oneness: one true self, one sexuality, one gender, one vision of the world, one true God. For many who identify (or who have been named by others) as transgender, queer, and nonbinary, the refusal to fit within the illusion of one set of sex and gender expectations has been met with violence and suppression. While the myth of oneness is a powerful story that shapes the contours of our societies and our selves, it is not the only myth. Performances, fictions, rituals, and theologies can transform current realities. The(y)ology: Mythopoetics for Queer/Trans Liberation is a manifesto for artists, teachers, theologians, clergy, and activists looking for ways to resist rigid paradigms of gender, sexuality, self, and the sacred. In these pages, we are called to tell new stories about who we are and how we relate to each other within our ecosystems. The myths discussed wrestle with and transform the complex mytho-histories that have birthed and, often, harmed us. No story comes from nothing, and, more radically, perhaps no story is fully irredeemable. n The(y)ology, feminist philosophies join with trans poetics, literary theory with liberation theologies, drag performance with kabbalah, ecologies with pornographies, and ancient theater with queer autobiographies. However ambitious its scope might be, The(y)ology is fundamentally about encouraging us all to think playfully and to play thoughtfully with the mythologies that define our lives. --

Transsexual, transgendered and intersex people have become increasingly more visible since the 1990s, but the churches have been slow to recognize their lives and their contribution to theology and the churches. As theologians we are mystified by this, since a redemptive history based on the multiple possibilities of incarnational theology is best read as lived in trans/luminal spaces. Trans/formations is a passionate book borne out of the outrage felt at the ever narrowing boundaries of theology. It is passionate too because it comes from a deeply held incarnational belief that dares to take the lived experience of people seriously as part of the redemptive ground we share. It is a book that wishes to shake not shock, it seeks to shake us out of the contented narrowness of a cosy Christianity and into one that seeks always to expand the incarnational tent that is our home. The contributors ask questions not only of the churches and theology but at times also of gender and sexuality theorists. It is time we all thought anew, and this book hopes to aid that debate. Lisa Isherwood is Professor of Feminist Liberation Theologies at the University of Winchester. Marcella Althaus-Reid was Professor of Contextual Theology at New College, Edinburgh. She died in February 2009.
