'Stunning . . . Built like a thriller, moving, wise and illuminated on every page with love' -Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat A parent's deeply moving love letter to a daughter who has always known exactly who she is. When Carolyn Hays’s child made clear to the family that they were all...

Le discriminazioni e la violenza contro le donne e le persone omosessuali e transessuali sono oggi, almeno a parole, unanimemente condannate in Italia. Una frattura profonda divide invece il Paese quando si discute dei mezzi per combattere questi mali. Al centro del durissimo dibattito c'è la cosiddetta "teoria del gender". Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.

Dall'11 maggio 2016 le unioni civili sono legge. E se sul matrimonio è stato scritto molto e sulle donne altrettanto, sulle donne che hanno deciso di sposarsi fra loro si sa molto meno. A riempire con la sua intelligenza questo vuoto, arriva Chiara Sfregola che, a partire dalla sua esperienza di lesbica, di femminista e di moglie, racconta con un passo a metà tra saggistica e memoir cosa è stato storicamente e cosa sta diventando, oggi, il matrimonio.

In Rebent Sinner, Ivan Coyote takes on the patriarchy and the political, as well as the intimate and the personal in these beguiling and revealing stories of what it means to be trans and non-binary today, at a time in their life when they must carry the burden of heartbreaking history with them, while combatting those who would misgender them or deny their very existence. These stories span thirty years of tackling TERFs, legislators, and bathroom police, sure, but there is joy and pleasure and triumph to be found here, too.

In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone.

The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races—and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening.

Com seu estilo franco e certeiro, Ruth Manus mostra que expandir a conversa sobre o machismo, convidando para o papo as pessoas que ainda não têm familiaridade com o assunto, é mais do que necessário: é urgente. Deixando claro que um audiolivro contra o machismo não é um audiolivro contra os homens, que não são só os homens que têm atitudes machistas e que reconhecer o próprio machismo—e lutar contra ele—é um ato de coragem, Ruth nos guia no caminho da conscientização e nos convida a mudar comportamentos, discursos e, em última instância, o próprio mundo.

Tanto la "inteligencia emocional" como la "resiliencia" son conceptos controvertidos dentro de la psicología académica pero ampliamente manejados en los libros de autoayuda. Este trabajo, de principio a fin, se plantea el reto de equilibrar el rigor con la utilidad cotidiana. Los hombres gais somos uno de los colectivos que sufrimos mayores exigencias emocionales a lo largo de la vida. Es necesario entrenar muy bien nuestra resiliencia para dejar atrás las marcas del acoso homofóbico y la discriminación.

Crawley - writing as A - meditates on the interrelation of Blackqueer life, sounds of the Black church, theology, mysticism, and love.

The story of Christine Jorgensen, America's first prominent transsexual, narrated trans embodiment in the postwar era. Her celebrity, however, has obscured other mid-century trans narratives. Their erasure from trans history masks the ways race has figured prominently in the construction and representation of transgender subjects. In Black on Both Sides, C. Riley Snorton identifies multiple intersections between blackness and transness from the mid-19th century to present-day anti-Black and anti-trans legislation and violence.

The author of landmark manifesto Whipping Girl exposes the violent ways we are all sexualized–then offers a bold path for resistance Feminists have long challenged the ways in which men tend to sexualize women. But pioneering activist, biologist, and trans woman Julia Serano argues that...
