In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached.

At fifteen years old, Daphne Scholinski was committed to a mental institution and awarded the dubious diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder. For three years and more than a million dollars of insurance, the problem was “treated”—with makeup lessons and instructions in how to walk like a girl. With a new epilogue by Scholinski, whose name is now Dylan and who identifies as nonbinary, this revised edition of The Last Time I Wore a Dress looks back at those experiences and their life since.

El relato más popular sobre la transexualidad ha señalado que nuestro malestar reside en nuestro cuerpo y la solución es transformarlo.

Me gustaría que la lectura de este libro supusiera un "clic", un chispazo que interrumpiera una cadencia de mierda, una bajada de tensión en el movimiento LGTBQ que debe terminar cuanto antes.

A Foundational Text The Bible has been one of the most influential texts in human history, shaping the laws, cultures, and beliefs of entire civilizations for over two thousand years. For millions of people worldwide, this collection of scriptures serves as a spiritual, moral, and ethical guide—a document of incalculable power in their daily lives. However, throughout history, traditional interpretations of the Bible have overwhelmingly been used to legitimize patriarchal and heteronormative systems that marginalize and exclude those who do not conform to these models.

We live in a world where trans lives are now mainstream and many forms of nonbinary and gender-diverse identities exist. This is also a world in which some people have some very strong views about how other people identify and how those people should be treated. If you happen to be someone who is running - or is thinking of setting up - a group, programme or event for women (or for a specific group of people for whom gender may be a defining feature) then you need to have an understanding of some of these issues so that you can lead with integrity.
