So often the stories shared by trans people about their transition center 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 that pushes forward their transition: the joy the first time a parent calls them by their new chosen name, the first time they have the confidence to cut their hair short, the first time they truly embrace themselves.

At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here.

A Racial History of Trans Identity

He considers the pasts that have been discarded to create blackness and transness as categories of social valuation; the insights that occur when ignoring these social markers; and how condensing transness into the category of transgender is a racial narrative, as well as how blackness is articulated within transness. He examines sex and gender as racial arrangements that are mutable and subject to rearrangement in medicine and law, looking at the founding of American gynecology and the archives of J. Marion Sims and his experiments on female slaves, as well as cross-dressing in fugitive-slave narratives; the transgender implications of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery, W.E.B. Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk, and James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man; and the negation of blackness, with discussion of trans embodiment in the postwar period through the media narratives of Christine Jorgensen, Lucy Hicks Anderson, Georgia Black, Carlett Brown, James McHarris/Annie Lee Grant, and Ava Betty Brown in the black press, as well as the murders of Lisa Lambert, Brandon Teena, and Phillip DeVine, focusing on DeVine's life and death.

But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family--blood and chosen--arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Available in print and eAudiobook formats.

However, many see the idea of being trans as more complicated -- as an active process of challenging the formal structures that govern how gender is defined. For different people, and in different times, places, and contexts, gender itself can be a broad entity or a very narrow one, and in various ways, understandings of "trans" can seem too expansive or too restrictive.

With the approval of the girl's aunt, the pair were joined in marriage and set off on a honeymoon. Hamilton had little money and no family. But they were resourceful, determined, and charismatic. They offered Mary companionship and adventure. As someone who was assigned female at birth, Hamilton became known as a female husband. Nearly one hundred years later and across the Atlantic, the Journal of Commerce ran a story called, "Extraordinary Case of a Female Husband." Scottish immigrant George Wilson was found passed out on the streets of New York's lower eastside. A policeman took them into the station.
