- Description
- The first section maps the ways in which social, cultural, legal and medical developments shape new identities on both an individual and collective level. The second section examines how law and social policy have responded to contemporary gender shifts. The third section explores gender and sexual identity practices within cultural and subcultural spaces. The final section offers a theoretical reflection on the increasing visibility of trans people in today’s society and traces the challenges and the contributions transgender theory has brought to gender theory, queer theory and sociological approaches to identity and citizenship.
