- Description
- This book explores the pleasures and perils of being LHBTQ+ in the West. Though the options and freedoms for LGBTQ+ people living in the West are greater than ever before, the question is at what cost this acceptance has come and who is left behind, particularly where LGBTQ+ rights are not enough promoted and supported. The author searches for answers to these challenges as well as to the broader question of what it means to be queer in 2019 worldwide. To illustrate this she describes her emotions at the first same-sex marriage in Britain, her experiences at both the world's biggest drag queen festival in Los Angeles and Pride parades across Europe and her visit to a transgender model agency.

- Description
- The phrase ‘LGBT community’ is often used by policy-makers, service providers, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people themselves, but what does it mean? What understandings and experiences does that term suggest, and ignore? Based on a UK-wide study, this book explores these questions from the perspectives of over 600 research participants.

- Description
- In the early years of the People's Republic of China, the Communist Party sought to transform gender relations, but those gains have been steadily eroded in recent decades during China's transition to a post-socialist era. Women in China have experienced a rollback of rights and gains relative to men. In this book Fincher exposes structural discrimination against women and highlights the broader damage this has caused to China's economy, politics, and development.

- Description
- Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia and examines Islam in this context. It discusses in particular calalai, female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man: calabai, male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman: and bissu, an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals
