| Summary: | This text examines and challenges medical and feminist models of transsexualism as well as current thinking about gender and sexuality. First, it focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour among transsexuals rather than on any individual's characteristics. Second, it examines that thinking and behaviour in its social context by looking at the nature of wider social responses to transsexualism. Includes a list of references and an index. The author's other publications include 'The Myth of the Universal Church' and 'Social Science Methodology'. |
