Critics Review
“Truly world-class scholarship. Reflections on trans issues need to be grounded in the realities of trans people and in a framework that is truly global. This timely work achieves this with both nuance and accessibility.”
Viviane Namaste, author of Invisible Lives
“An inviting book about the herstories, lives and rights of trans women, trans men and gender diverse people around the world, true to Connell’s commitment to a feminist lens on gender as power and on what justice and freedom might be, for all of us.”
Finn Mackay, author of Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars
“Impressively comprehensive overview of trans issues from a global perspective.”
Peter Tatchell, human rights campaigner
