Representing trans: linguistic, legal and everyday perspectives
book
posted on 2023-06-09, 12:55 authored by Evan Hazenberg, Miriam MeyerhoffHow we represent ourselves to others and how our identities are represented in society is something that we have to negotiate every day. For members of the trans community - transgender, transsexual or some new gendered selfhood - representation has tremendous psychological and social weight. Trans men and trans women must negotiate their representation in multiple domains, with life-changing significance. These include high-stakes negotiations of representation in interactions with the legal system and with medical practice, and in the most superficial interactions and social exchanges with strangers. Trans men and trans women must also, of course, negotiate the definitions of their most intimate and meaningful personal relationships. This collection of essays draws on the lived experiences of a number of people who are active within the trans community. It also draws on the work of university-based academics, thereby bridging scholarly and community discourses about representations of trans people in language, law, art and community health. Here, some of the voices of the trans community within New Zealand, and from Asia, the Pacific Islands, and North America, can be heard in their own words and on their own terms, within a broader social and historical perspective.
