“I would like to recommend this book as a cutting edge collection of pieces by trans-academics and activists.  The writers are transgender and transsexual people who know what it means to be trans, and in particular the theories that surround gender in universities today.  They introduce the reality of their experiences into the theoretical constructs of gender and, I believe, provide a manual for trans/gender activism in the 21st century.  They address gender theory through the lessons we have learnt from feminism and postmodernism.  It is both a great introduction and a clear overview for students in many areas of gender study, as well as a guide to personal positioning and understanding for many trans people, their families and their friends” — Stephen Whittle, co-author
