- Description
- This book deals with the masculine normativity and the identity of black transgender women. It addresses 1) the implications of being a black transgender woman within the black community and the American society, 2) the societal and cultural impact of the black-male-to-black-female transition on black masculinity and femininity, and 3) the effects of toxic masculinity within the black community leading to violence against black transgender women. Finally, the book calls for more acceptance and inclusiveness of different sexualities and gender identities.
