Brynn also challenges deliberately deceptive information about transgender people being put out into the public sphere.

Abstract

"What does it mean to be non-binary in the 21st century? Our gender identity is impacted by our personal histories; the cultures, communities, and countries we are born into; and the places we go and the people we meet. But the representation of contemporary non-binary identities has been limited, until now. Pushing the narrative around non-binary identities further than ever before, this powerful collection of essays represents the breadth of non-binary lives, across the boundaries of race, class, age, sexuality, faith, and more. Leading non-binary people share stories of their intersecting lives; how it feels to be non-binary and neurodiverse, the challenges of being a non-binary pregnant person, what it means to be non-binary within the Quaker community, the joy of reaching gender euphoria. This thought-provoking anthology shows that there is no right or wrong way to be non-binary."--

Abstract

Pouvait-on changer de genre au Moyen Âge ? Vivre en homme et devenir sainte ? Naître fille et finir chevalier ? Changer d'habits comme d'identité durant cette période dominée par la chrétienté ? Pour faire taire les idées reçues, Clovis Maillet démontre que les expériences de transidentité ne sont pas l'apanage de la modernité. Que le combat pour l'émancipation peut même passer par la réappropriation des figures de l'histoire. Ainsi l'héritage de Jeanne d'Arc est-il disputé à la droite nationaliste par les militants queer libertaires qui la considèrent, depuis la fin du XXe siècle, comme une guerrière transgenre. De Jeanne d'Arc à Hildegonde-Joseph en passant par Eugénie-Eugène, sainte Thècle ou le chevalier Silence, ce livre propose une réflexion sur le genre en retraçant une histoire trans de l'époque médiévale.

Abstract

Il ne paraît pas concevable qu’il puisse exister des catholiques sans Rome. Le but de cette étude est de partir à la recherche de ces insatisfaits dans l’histoire religieuse de la France depuis la Révolution. Qui ont été, et qui sont encore, ces croyants qui se disent catholiques mais rechignent à suivre les consignes de la papauté dans une période où celle-ci renforce son pouvoir central? Leurs parcours peuvent se résumer à trois options: les plus conservateurs regrettent que l’Église romaine s’engage dans des concessions faites à la modernité, les plus réformateurs lui font le reproche inverse de ne pas assez répondre aux nouvelles attentes des croyants, enfin, d’autres vont trouver des réponses à leurs inquiétudes dans le recours direct à Dieu.Est-ce qu’une minorité peut revendiquer une orthodoxie et reprocher au pape d’être dans l’erreur? Voilà l’une des questions qu’avec bien d’autres ce livre affronte.Cette histoire des marges révèle non seulement la distance prise par quelques groupes finalement peu importants, mais encore celle prise par un plus grand nombre de croyants moins visibles qui, forts des mêmes griefs, s’éloignent tout autant, mais sans bruit.

Abstract

‘I was four and three-quarters when I asked my mother if, from now on, I could please go to school as a girl instead of as a boy …’ In this extraordinary new book, renowned philosopher Sophie Grace Chappell combines personal memoir, philosophical reflection, open letters, science fiction writing, and poetry to help us all figure out transgender. What is it really like to be transgender? How can we as a society do better to accept the reality of trans lives and to welcome and include trans adults, trans children, and trans families? How can trans people thrive in a cisgendered world? For too long now, clouds of myth, misinformation, alarmism, and wrong-headed ideology have masked the reality of trans people’s lives. By answering questions like these, this book blows away the clouds and gives us the truth instead. Rich, informative, and deeply moving, Trans Figured will be widely read and celebrated for years to come.

Abstract

Another genre for another gender. What if you were trans and didn't know it? What if there were some hole in your life and you didn't even know it was there? What if you went through life not knowing why you only felt at home in your body at peak moments of drugs and sex? What if you expended your days avoiding an absence, a hole in being? Reverse Cowgirl is not exactly a memoir. The author doesn't, in the end, have any answers as to who she really is or was, although maybe she figures out what she could become. Traveling from Sydney in the 1980s to New York today, Reverse Cowgirl is a comedy of errors, chronicling the author's failed attempts at being gay and at being straight across the shifting political and media landscapes of the late twentieth century. Finding that the established narratives of being transgender don't seem to apply to her, Wark borrows from the genres of autofiction, fictocriticism, and new narrative to create a writing practice that can discover the form of a life outside existing accounts of trans experience: an auto-ethnography of the opacity of the self.

Abstract

So often the stories shared by trans people about their transition centre on gender dysphoria: a feeling of deep discomfort with their birth-assigned gender, and a powerful catalyst for coming out or transitioning. But for many non-cisgender people, it's gender euphoria which pushes forward their transition: the joy the first time a parent calls them by their chosen name, the first time they have the confidence to cut their hair short, the first time they truly embrace themself. In this ground-breaking anthology, nineteen trans, non-binary, agender, gender-fluid and intersex writers share their experiences of gender euphoria: an agender dominatrix being called 'Daddy,' an Arab trans man getting his first tattoos, a trans woman embracing her inner fighter. What they have in common are their feelings of elation, pride, confidence, freedom and ecstasy as a direct result of coming out as non-cisgender, and how coming to terms with their gender has brought unimaginable joy into their lives.

Abstract

Transgender on Screen werpt een blik op de culturele afbeeldingsvormen van travestie en transseksualiteit in moderne media en doet dit alles tegen een essentiële historische achtergrond. Hoe werden en worden cross-dressers en transseksuelen afgebeeld in drie verschillende filmgenres: komedies, trillers en mengvormen? Wat is de invloed van deze afbeeldingsvormen op het steeds problematischer wordende onderscheid tussen het ingebeelde en de realiteit? Deze analyse wordt gebaseerd op bevindingen uit de psychoanalyse, queer theorieën en post moderne theorieën.
