El abc del género es, como su subtítulo menciona, un manual con nociones mínimas para que podamos reflexionar, reconstruir el discurso y, de ser necesario, replantear nuestra mirada. Este libro busca abrir conversación sin polarizarla, propiciar el diálogo y la escucha sobre temas que parecen imposibles de debatir sin conflicto, pero de los cuales es apremiante hablar y generar espacios de encuentro para la toma de decisiones a nivel personal, familiar e institucional (en la escuela, el trabajo y las instancias de gobierno).

Sex Up Your Life goes beyond simply giving advice on how to have a better sex life. It’s a deep dive into the unconscious and mostly unspoken realms about the meaning of sexuality within our lives. It offers a continuum of sexual experiences and personal stories that explore the range of expressions from lack of consent, to sexual exploitation, and into realms of play, the heart, and our spirit. At each point along this continuum, the listener is asked to explore within their experiences and beliefs around the topic.

In Black Trans Feminism Marquis Bey offers a meditation on blackness and gender nonnormativity in ways that recalibrate traditional understandings of each. Theorizing black trans feminism from the vantages of abolition and gender radicality, Bey articulates blackness as a mutiny against racializing categorizations; transness as a nonpredetermined, wayward, and deregulated movement that works toward gender's destruction; and black feminism as an epistemological method to fracture hegemonic modes of racialized gender.

Diligently sourced and researched, Boy with the Bullhorn provides both an intimate look into how activist strategies are developed and deployed, as well as a snapshot of life in New York City during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic.

Junge oder Mädchen? Anhand der äußeren Geschlechtsmerkmale wird diese Entscheidung meist direkt nach der Geburt gefällt. Doch ob diese Entscheidung auch dem Geschlecht entspricht, dem sich ein Mensch zugehörig fühlt, stellt sich erst später heraus. Manchmal bereits im Kindesalter, manchmal aber auch erst Jahre später, wenn Betroffenen klar wird, dass sie beispielsweise kein Mann sind, obwohl in ihrer Geburtsurkunde männlich steht.

Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood, the gay sons of immigrants featured in Brown and Gay in LA could not have felt further removed from a world where queerness was accepted and celebrated. Instead, the men profiled here maneuver through family and friendship circles where masculinity dominates, gay sexuality is unspoken, and heterosexuality is strictly enforced. For these men, the path to sexual freedom often involves chasing the dreams while resisting the expectations of their immigrant parents—and finding community in each other.

“I am married to an amazing woman, and we have great kids. I also carry a huge secret deep inside: I am gay.” Accepting truth about sexual identity after living outwardly as straight is terrifying and incredibly difficult to maneuver. Some fool themselves that this will be just fine, some have been caught exploring their sexuality, and some consider drastic steps to spare themselves and their loved ones from this truth.

This book was originally written to share with other parents of transgender children our journey as a family of what we experienced while my child transitioned from boy to girl at such a young age. It was ideally written to let you know that you are not alone in this experience, and hopefully you will find some joy along the way as well. Many sections will carry you on the journey with us from the beginning of the transition through the next 10 years and everything in between. It shares stories, inner thoughts, struggles, triumphs, and perspectives.

Der Kampf für Gerechtigkeit und trans* Rechte? – ein Kampf für uns alle! Eine Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose… Sprache, Identität und vor allem: Empathie Der Name einer Sache verkörpert deren Bild, unsere Vorstellung davon und die damit verbundenen Gefühle.

Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft, die alle ausschließt, die von der Norm abweichen.

Hasta el coño de lo trans. Así está Elizabeth Duval. Cansada de ser la jovencísima activista antes que la escritora o la filósofa. Está harta y de ese mismo aborrecimiento nace la rabia que mueve este libro, el último de sus esfuerzos para desprenderse del sambenito de lo trans. Pero esto no es una autoficción ni mucho menos un panfleto que pueda repetirse sin digerir. Después de lo trans es un ensayo visceral y ambicioso que acierta en la médula de las guerras culturales e identitarias de nuestro siglo.

It’s hard to overstate how much we put pressure on early sexual encounters—and how little real advice is out there. How do I deal when I keep running into my one-night stand? How can I tell if I’m too drunk to have sex? How do I say stop when I’m not really into it? Why do I keep getting all these UTIs? And most of all: Why is so much of sex ed focused on what could go wrong instead of what actually feels good? In this unflinchingly honest guide to hookups and relationships in the twenty-first century, Ali Drucker answers these questions and more.
