A useful introduction to different representations of transvestites and transgender people in American film in the latter half of the 20th century, with a particular focus on the way that trans people disrupt conventional binary notions of gender, sex, and sexuality. This book is heavy on psychoanalytic theory and gender studies academese... but the core ideas are clear, compelling, and engaging.
