Gender and Sexual Identity: Transcending Feminist and Queer Theory

by Julie L. Nagoshi, Craig T. Nagoshi, Stephan/Ie Brzuzy

The first comprehensive presentation of an explicitly transgender theory. This theory goes beyond feminist and queer theory by incorporating the idea of fluid embodiment and lived experience in conceptualizing gender and sexual identity. Beyond developing a formulation of transgender theory that incorporates the socially constructed, embodied, and self-constructed aspects of identity in the narrative of lived experiences, the authors discuss the implications of this “trans-identity theory” for theory, research, and practice.

Read this for university and by god was it a mess. There's some interesting elements in here, primarily the trans-identity theorem they propose, but everything else is very chaotic and lacking proper editing. There's spelling and grammar errors and frequently reoccurring quotes. And not just brief sentences either, there are whole paragraphs of study responses word for word copied twice, once even directly after one another on the same page. On top of that this book tries to cover too many different only tangentially related topics.
