For a Special Issue of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy Transgender Studies and Feminism: Theory, Politics, and Gendered Realities Edited by Talia Mae Bettcher and Ann Garry.

The recent publication of The Transgender Studies Reader (ed. Susan Stryker and Stephen Whittle, New York: Routledge, 2006) marks a watershed in the development of trans studies. Arising in the early nineties in close relation to queer theory, trans studies is characterized by the coming-to-voice of trans people, long the theorized and researched objects of sexology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and even feminist theory. Sandy Stone's groundbreaking "The Empire Strikes Back: A PosttranssexualManifesto" sought the end of monolithic accounts of trans people (authored by non-trans) to reveal a multiplicity of trans narratives told by trans people themselves.
