Crossing Sexual Boundaries: Transgender Journeys, Uncharted Paths
'Transgender' has become a convenient umbrella term to cover a collectivity of individuals (including cross-dressers, transvestites, transsexuals and intersexuals) who do not conform to traditional norms of gender identity and behaviour. This book is a compilation of autobiographies of men and women who openly and frankly describe their often very difficult journeys. Using a decade-by-decade format, the contributors provide the reader with critical insights into the process of realisation that led to their various gender expressions. Their life stories make clear that a good deal of diversity exists within the gender community.
Lesbian & Bisexual Identities
This book examines the stories of lesbian and bisexual women in a Northeast community who share who they are, how they have come to see themselves as lesbian or bisexual, and what those identities mean to them. Drawing on social constructionist approaches to identity, Kristin G. Esterberg argues that identities are multiple and contingent. Created within the context of specific communities and within specific relationships, lesbian and bisexual identities are ways of sorting through experiences of desires and attractions, relationships, and politics. Their meanings change over time as women grow older and have more varied experiences, as the communities and sociopolitical worlds in which they live change, and as their life circumstances alter. In interviews conducted over a four-year time period, women describe the lesbian community they live in; how they see its structure, its social groups, its informal rules and norms for behavior; and their places inside - or on the margins of - the community. "Lesbian and Bisexual Identities" reveals how women fall in and out of love, how they 'perform' lesbian or bisexual identity through clothing, hairstyle, body language, and talk, and many other aspects typically not considered. The women present a variety of accounts. Some consider themselves 'lesbian from birth' and have constructed their lives accordingly, while others have experienced significant shifts in their identities, depending on the influences of feminism, progressive politics, the visibility of the lesbian community, and other factors. Esterberg offers vivid accounts that defy the stereotypes so commonly offered. "Lesbian and Bisexual Identities" not only presents women's stories in their own words, it moves beyond storytelling to understand how these accounts resonate with social science theories of identity and community. Author note: Kristin G. Esterberg is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Director of Women's Studies at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. She is the author of numerous articles on the social construction of gay and lesbian identities.

Sex book - The Whole Lesbian Sex Book
Revised and updated, the "most comprehensive lesbian sex guide ever published" is back with a variety of new topics and information, including an extensively detailed resource section and bibliography with hundreds of magazines, websites, organizations, and more. Felice Newman, publisher at Cleis press since 1980, has edited a slew of other sex books, but nothing comes close to the amount of research amassed for this edition. Drawing on a wide range of published sources, (and her own distributed questionnaire) Newman has compiled an "exhaustively thorough how-to guide" for exotic as well as simple sexual practices. Covering oral, manual, anal, and vaginal techniques, she further elaborates on breast play, transgender and bisexual orientation, SM, group sex, and even sex toys, the whole time repeatedly addressing the need for safety. Also acknowledging that some women prefer monogamy, and some polygamy, she offers a primer in sexual politics and lesbian manners (including a brief section on celibacy). With an assuring and friendly tone Newman discusses matters of anatomy and sexuality, without being authoritarian or overbearing. "Rich and inclusive," her work "updates and embodies the best of the half-dozen other lesbian sex manuals in print," and although this book is aimed at lesbians, it's "extremely suitable for heterosexual women and men" to learn from and enjoy.

Transgender Voices: Beyond Women and Men
In this extraordinary book, based on 150 in-depth interviews, Lori B. Girshick, a sociologist and social justice activist, brings together the voices of sex- and gender-diverse people who speak with absolute candor about their lives. Girshick presents transpeople speaking in their own voices about identity, coming out, passing, sexual orientation, relationship negotiations and the dynamics of attraction, homophobia (including internalized fears), and bullying. She exposes the guilt and the shame that "gender police" use in their attempts to exert control and points out the many ways transpeople are discriminated against in daily life, from filling out identification documents to gender-segregated bathrooms.By showing us a variety of descriptions of diverse real lives and providing a thorough exploration of the embodied experiences of gender variant people, Girshick demonstrates that there is nothing inherently binary about gender, and that the way each of us experiences our own gender is, in fact, normal and natural.
