Summary: A primarily psychoanalytic and somewhat disappointing book
Comment: Although it covers a broad spectrum of experience (if from a somewhat limited viewpoint) I expected a lot more from a book that has Stephen Whittleand Janice Raymond contributing adjacent chapters. Thecore of the book is a debate about the historical construct- ion of "transgender" and its legitimacy in modern culture. The arguments against, with the exception of Raymond's revised introduction to the Transsexual Empire (1994), seem to predate the emergence of "transgender" as a term, and thus don't address any of the cultural developments that have sprung up around it. Furthermore, as psychoanalysts predominate, there is an annoying tendency for essays to treat transgendered subjectivity as a source only for raw data, and not a legitimate independent critical voice.
