Transgender Voices: Beyond Women and Men is a useful and forward-thinking book that offers an invaluable glimpse into the lives of folks whose gender identity, gender presentation, and biological sex don't match up in the ways society expects them to. Sociologist and activist Lori B. Girshick provides a literature review of the most cutting-edge gender theory, gives us perspective into the long history of gender variance and its natural place in human cultures and among animals of other species, and ends with advocating the adoption of a radically inclusive alternative model of gender and sexuality.
