Trans and gender diverse people have always been present in Australian life, whether they've lived quiet lives in the country, performed in cabaret shows, worked on the streets or run for parliament. But over the last century there have been remarkable changes in how they have identified and expressed themselves. Transgender Australia is the first book to chart the changing social, medical, legal and lived experiences of trans and gender diverse people in Australia since 1910. Drawing on over a hundred oral history interviews and previously unexamined documents and media reports, it highlights how trans people have tried to live authentically while navigating a society that often treated them like outcasts. It is the first book to chart the history of gender diverse Australians, exploring both progress and ongoing battles. It is also a celebration of ways that transgender participation has enriched our lives in all its cultural diversity.

"Harry Benjamin (1885-1986), a German-born endocrinologist, was an early pioneer in hormone therapy and transgender medicine. During his long career, he assisted many people in transitioning, including Christine Jorgensen, the 1950's 'Ex-GI' turned 'Blond Bombshell' media sensation. The two became close collaborators, with Jorgensen working with Benjamin on his influential book The Transsexual Phenomenon, published in 1966. Alison Li's much-needed biography of Benjamin chronicles his passion for hormones and his lifelong interest in sexology. Drawn from extensive research in archival documents, secondary sources, and interviews, Li tells the story of Benjamin's collaborative work with over a thousand transgender patients and his efforts in education, research, and networking, helped to create the institutional foundations of transgender medicine"--

Now in paperback--the essential, urgent guide that changes the conversation about gender. National Bestseller Winner, 2023 Porchlight Business Book Awards Longlisted, 2024 Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Nonfiction Forbes 30 Under 30 Anti-transgender legislation is being introduced in state governments around the United States in record-breaking numbers. Trans people are under attack in sports, healthcare, school curriculum, bathrooms, bars, and nearly every walk of life. He/She/They clearly and compassionately addresses fundamental topics, from why being transgender is not a choice and why pronouns are important, to more complex issues including how gender-affirming healthcare can be lifesaving and why allowing trans youth to play sports is good for all kids. With a relatable narrative rooted in facts, science, and history, Schuyler helps restore common sense and humanity to a discussion that continues to be divisively coopted and deceptively politicized. He/She/They is more than a book on allyship; it also speaks to trans folks directly, answering the question, "does it get better?" with a resounding yes, celebrating radical trans joy. Myth-busting, affirming, compassionate, and fierce, He/She/They is a crucial, urgent--and lifesaving--book that forever changes the conversation about gender.

Diese Lektüre veranschaulicht wie beheimatete Obrigkeiten, in unserem sogenannten queer-freundlichen Staat, mit Trans-Mann und Trans-Frau umgehen. Derzeit überwiegt jener Anschein, dass diejenige Gesellschaft uns, die, trans, sind, von Mal zu Mal immer mehr akzeptiert. Aber Akzeptanz, ist nicht das, was unsereins fordert: »Nein, wir sprechen von ganz alltäglicher Einbeziehung!« Es wäre noch ein weiter Weg dorthin.

Gender transition doesn't have to be traumatic or even therapeutic. It is a vital journey that has been hijacked by religion, academia, industry and medicine. In the hands of others, gender, like race, becomes an instrument of domination. That is why we have to take it into our own hands: so that it is not others who locate us, classify us and say who and how we should be. My name is Sion and I am the first person who conforms to the assigned gender who decided to abandon it aimlessly. I stopped being a male body to temporarily become Hannah. Here I tell you her story, how I made the world's first double gender transition and was able to choose who I am.

From the acclaimed author of The Atmospherians (which Mat Johnson called "a Fight Club for the Millennial Generation?), a gender-bending, body-switching novel that explores marriage, identity, and sex, and raises profound questions about the nature of true partnership.

"Hookup culture is, for better or for worse, full of stories. They don't have to lead to the two (or more) characters entering a relationship after. They don't have to lead to the main character getting a promotion at work. These stories have the potential to be sweet, yes, but they can also be raunchy. These stories have the potential to be dark and raw and horrific. If nothing else, I hope you can agree to this: sex can be story, rather than a completely disparate phenomenon."Erotica vs. Porn is a rabid debate in the furry writing world. Discussions of balancing sex and story have been going on for what seems like an eternity. Red Ferret Press has heard it said before "only use sex if it is important to your story." Only, sex is full of stories, isn't it? Sex can be the story, and that's what Furs with Benefits ties to do. The seven stories that wait inside are all filled with sexual encounters that remain the focus rather than a side experience.

"Dandelion Daughter is an intimate portrait of growing up having been assigned the wrong sex at birth. Set against the windswept countryside of the remote Charlevoix region some five hours north of Montreal, Boulianne-Tremblay's autobiographical novel immortalizes her early years as an alienated boy trapped in a world of small-town values. In the midst of her parents' dissolving marriage, Boulianne-Tremblay takes us through the complex adolescent years of self-discovery and first loves, to the harrowing episodes that fuel the growing realization that she must transition and give birth to her new self if she is to continue living at all. One of the first novels of its kind to appear in Quebec, this inspiring story has connected with a wide readership and has been adopted by many schools."--

From the intersection of queer studies, area studies and critical kinship studies, this groundbreaking collection explores queer (non-hetero-sexual) family practices and kinship formations from converging perspectives and in a range of geopolitical settings around the Baltic Sea region and beyond. Empirically grounded and in critical dialogue with international scholarship, the volume simultaneously places (queer) kinship and reproduction at the centre of area studies and contributes to the de-centring of Western, Anglo-American theoretical and empirical dominance within feminist and queer kinship studies. Using examples from Denmark, Finland, Greece, Norway, Poland and Sweden, this book highlights the importance of geopolitics in the understandings of queer kinship. Contributors explore the centrality of sexuality in assisted reproduction, family-making and other forms of queer/ing kinship and intimacy by focusing on equality, the role of the state, of technologies in making and breaking kinship, and further the theoretical discussion on matters of mourning, inter-generationality, embodiment, labour and citizenship. Contributors: Pako Chalkidou, Ulrika Dahl, Suraiya Jetha, Jenny Gun-narsson Payne, Anna Malmqvist, Anna Moring, Michael Neberling Peterson, Joanna Mizieli¿ska and Antu Sorainen.

"Idlewild is a tiny, artsy Quaker high school in lower Manhattan. Students call their teachers by their first names, there are no grades, and every day begins with 20 minutes of contemplative silence in the Meetinghouse. It is during one of those meetings that an airplane hits the Twin Towers. For two Idlewild outcasts, 9/11 serves as the first day of an intense, 18-month friendship. Fay is prickly, aloof, and obsessed with gay men; Nell is shy, sensitive, and obsessed with Fay. The two of them bond fiercely and spend all their waking hours giddily parsing their environment for homoerotic subtext. Then, during rehearsals for the fall play, they notice two sexually ambiguous boys who are potential candidates for their exclusive Invert Society. The pairs become mirrors of one another and drive each other to make choices that they'll regret for the rest of their lives. Looking back on these events as adults, the estranged Fay and Nell trace that fateful school year, recalling backstage theater department intrigue, antiwar demonstrations, smutty fanfic written over AIM, a shared dial-up connection--and the spectacular cascade of mistakes, miscommunications, and betrayals that would ultimately tear the two of them apart"--
