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.

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.

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. Oder: Eine Sache wird zur Sache durch ihre Benennung. Doch wie können wir diesen einfachen Gedanken auf unsere Umgebung übertragen? Phenix Kühnert ist sich sicher: mit Empathie. 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.

"Questo libro non è un volume di storia. Non intende raccontare la nascita del Movimento, non ha nessuna pretesa di appuntare al petto degli intervistati e delle intervistate medaglie di merito o dare patenti di ogni tipo. Intende solo celebrare questi cinquant'anni. Questo è un libro di vite. Di incontri, scontri, coincidenze." Il primo Movimento di liberazione omosessuale italiano è stato il FUORI!, nato nel 1971, e la comunità e i suoi protagonisti a distanza di cinquant'anni si raccontano.

Imagine a pied piper singing in a dazzling falsetto, wearing glittering sequins, and leading the young people of the nation to San Francisco and on to liberation where nothing was straight-laced or old-fashioned. And everyone, finally, was welcome—to come as themselves. This is not a fairy tale. This was real, mighty real, and disco sensation Sylvester was the piper. Joshua Gamson—a Yale-trained pop culture expert—uses him, a boy who would be fabulous, to lead us through the story of the '70s when a new era of change liberated us from conformity and boredom.

Snakken går i København. Angiveligt lokker byens homoseksualister de værnepligtige i fordærv, men er det mere end blot rygter?
