Societies around the world are struggling to think clearly about trans realities and understand trans identities.A�Real GenderA�is the first book to present aA�cisA�defence of what it means to be transgender.A� Moyal-Sharrock and Sandis delve into the various factors which make many trans people�_Ts experience of their gender (or lack thereof) as natural and unquestionable as that of cisA�people. While recognising the undeniably social aspects of gender, they find that gender cannot be completely divorced from our biological underpinnings.A�Contrary to popular opinion, gender self-identification does not require the denial of either biology or sex. What is needed is a more liberal understanding of our gender concepts, which would prevent us from confusing diversity with pathology.A� Steeped in published and personal trans testimonials,A�RealA�GenderA�does not seek to provoke or attack, but to unequivocally defend trans realities. A powerful exploration of a divisive topic,A�this bookA�will be of interest to a wide audience of readers.Binding: Hardback
