Transforming Gender, Sex, and Place

Transgender, gender variant, and intersex people are in every sector of all societies yet little is known about their relationship to place. Furthering our understanding of the relationship between trans identity, place and power by using a trans geographical framework, Lynda Johnston invites readers to consider categories crossing and slipping in and around the concept of ’trans’: trans-gender; trans-sex; trans-place; and, trans-space. Arguing that bodies, gender, and space are inextricably linked, this book brings together contemporary scholarly debates, original empirical material, and popular culture to consider bodies and spaces that revolve around, and resist, binary gender.
