Beskrivning

While medical identification and treatment of gender dysphoria have existed for decades, the development of transgender as a “collective political identity” is a recent construct. Over the past twenty-five years, the transgender movement has gained statutory nondiscrimination protections at the state and local levels, hate crimes protections in a number of states, inclusion in a federal law against hate crimes, legal victories in the courts, and increasingly favorable policies in bureaucracies at all levels. It has achieved these victories despite the relatively small number of trans people and despite the widespread discrimination, poverty, and violence experienced by many in the transgender community. This is a remarkable achievement in a political system where public policy often favors those with important resources that the transgender community lacks: access, money, and voters. The Remarkable Rise of Transgender Rights explains the growth of the transgender rights movement despite its marginalized status within the current political opportunity structure.

Recensioner i media

This is another book book backed up by an impressive array of quantitative and qualitative data, including several national surveys; the power of the various chapters is also supplemented by the authors' decision to coauthor several of them with noted experts in LGBT politics subfields, including Andrew Flores, Patrick Miller, and Barry Tadlock on public opinion; Jason Pierceson on judicial politics; Mitchell Sellers on executive branch politics; and Ryan Combs on health care politics...[which] allows for individual chapters to be strongly in conversation with their relevant literatures and enhances the overall quality of the book.
