Les figures trans sont partout. Dans les clips, la mode, les séries, les faits divers… Pourtant, cette visibilité ne s'accompagne pas toujours d'une plus grande acceptation. Tour à tour caricaturé, psychiatrisé, dans le meilleur des cas ignoré, dans le pire rejeté, le fait transidentitaire pose problème. A l'image de l'homosexualité, les peurs et les tabous demeurent. C'est sur la base de ce constat que ce livre propose un bilan des savoirs sur « les » questions trans, en insistant sur les différents fronts, de l'espace médical à l'espace social, en passant par les arènes juridiques et scientifiques. Laissant de côté la question du « pourquoi » (« pourquoi est-on trans ? » ou « pourquoi le devient-on ? »), l'auteur s'intéresse à la question du « comment » et des logiques sociales à l'œuvre dans les controverses transidentitaires.

"In an age when falsehoods are commonly taken as truth, Janice Raymond's new book illuminates the 'doublethink' of a transgender movement that is able to define men as women, women as men, he as she, dissent as heresy, science as sham, and critics as fascists. Meanwhile, trans mobs are treated as gender patriots whose main enemy is feminists and their dissent from gender orthodoxies. The medicalization of gender dissatisfaction depicted by Raymond in her early visionary book, The Transsexual Empire, has today expanded exponentially into the transgender industrial complex built on big medicine, big pharma, big banks, big foundations, big research centers, some attached to big universities. And the current rise of treating young children with puberty blockers and hormones is a widespread scandal that has been named a medical experiment on children. Whereas transsexualism was mainly a male phenomenon in the past with males undertaking cross-sex hormones and surgery, today it is notably young women who are self-declaring as men in large numbers. The good news is that these young women who formerly identified as 'trans men' or gender non-binary, are now de-transitioning. In this book, they speak movingly about their severances from themselves and other women, their escape from compulsive femininity, their sexual assaults, the misogyny they experienced growing up, and their journeys in recovering their womanhood. Doublethink: A Feminist Challenge to Transgenderism makes us aware of the consequences of a runaway ideology and its costs - among them what is at stake when males are allowed to compete in female sports and when parents are not aware of school curricula that confuse sex with gender and that can facilitate a child's hormone treatments without parental consent."--Page 4 of cover
