To Read (9) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) meela | May 25, 2021 |  The first problem is that it is written within the theoretical framework of lesbian feminism, where anyone who wasn't a "woman identified woman" was a problem. There was a philosophical gulf in this theoretical stance between the desire to build a better world for everyone and the theoretical necessity of marginalizing men. The author is not only unable to bridge this gulf, but seems to be unaware of it, blithely switching between these two opposite poles as she starts new paragraphs. Two, it's old and a lot of the data is out-dated or suspect. I wish I could say we had better data, but mostly in the last 30 years we've only acquired more reasons to suspect what data we have. Three, although she interviewed a small sample of trans people, she keeps imposing her theory over their statements, rather than letting their statements inform her theory. Still, her questions about the ethics of extreme medical intervention in what might be a socio-psychological problem are ones that I haven't seen adequately addressed.

Pertence a Série
Fifteen years ago, when it was first published, The Transsexual Empire challenged the medical psychiatric definition of transsexualism as a disease and sex conversion hormones and surgery as the cure. It exposed the antifeminist stereotyping that requires candidates for transsexual surgery to prove themselves by conforming to subjective, outdated and questionable feminine roles and passing as women. Then as now, defining and treating transsexualism as a medical problem prevents the person experiencing so-called gender dissatisfaction from seeing it in a gender-challenging or feminist framework.
