A sequel to First Gear: A Motorcycle Memoir, Horses in the Sand is a collection of stories that document a queer Métis woman’s journey from her sparse beginnings as a child to becoming a tradeswoman, teacher, and artist. With courage, humour, and frank honesty, the stories describe what it was like to grow up as a girl who was starkly different from "normal" and how "coming out" became a lifelong process of self-acceptance and changing identities.

WER HAT DIE MACHT ZU HASSEN? – Erkundung eines politischen Gefühls. Der Hass, dieses knirschende, zersetzende Gefühl, ist allgegenwärtig. Er brüllt von den Straßen oder flüstert in gutbürgerlicher Feindseligkeit. Er wächst in Parlamentsreden, Querköpfen und Kinderzimmern, und ganz bestimmt nicht im Verborgenen, auch wenn viele ihn gerne dorthin verdammen würden. Şeyda Kurt holt den Hass raus aus der Verbannung und begibt sich auf die Spuren seines widerständigen Potentials.

Es gibt nur zwei Geschlechter? Von wegen! Menschen sind mehr als entweder oder. Dennoch sind unsere Sprache, unsere Medien, unser Alltag von der Annahme geprägt, es gebe nur zwei Geschlechter, die einander binär gegenüberstehen. Werbung, Spielzeug, Kleidung und Geschichten, Er- und Beziehungsmodelle, sogar Algorithmen und die Wissenschaften – unsere gesamte Kultur ist davon durchzogen. Im Alltag begegnet uns die Zweigeschlechterordnung überall: im Sport, beim Klamotten kaufen, auf öffentlichen Toiletten und beim Bürgeramt, beim Dating und auf Social Media.

Dale Scott's career as a professional baseball umpire spanned nearly forty years, including thirty-three in the Major Leagues, from 1985 to 2017. He worked exactly a thousand games behind the plate, calling balls and strikes at the pinnacle of his profession, working in every Major League Baseball stadium, and interacting with dozens of other top-flight umpires, colorful managers, and hundreds of players.

Warum wir selbst über unseren Namen und unser Geschlecht entscheiden können sollten. Vor fünf Jahren hatte Linus Giese sein Coming out als trans Mann. Weil er sich traute, öffentlich darüber zu sprechen, erntete er Hass – und überwältigenden Zuspruch, insbesondere von jungen Menschen. Mit seinem neuen Buch möchte er ihnen etwas zurückgeben und Mut machen für die Zukunft. Trans Menschen erleben Diskriminierung im Alltag und auch strukturell, auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, im Gesundheitswesen, durch das Transsexuellengesetz, das als verfassungswidrig eingestuft wurde.

Emerson Whitney writes, "Really, I can't explain myself without making a mess." What follows is that mess—electrifying, gorgeous, defiant. At Heaven's center, Whitney seeks to understand their relationship to their mother and grandmother, those first windows into womanhood and all its consequences. Whitney retraces a roving youth in deeply observant, psychedelic prose—all the while folding in the work of thinkers like Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, and C. Riley Snorton—to engage transness and the breathing, morphing nature of selfhood.

The Straight State is the most expansive study of the federal regulation of homosexuality yet written. Unearthing startling new evidence from the National Archives, Margot Canaday shows how the state systematically came to penalize homosexuality, giving rise to a regime of second-class citizenship that sexual minorities still live under today.

Workplaces have traditionally been viewed as “straight spaces” in which queer people passed. As a result, historians have directed limited attention to the experiences of queer people on the job. Queer Career rectifies this, offering an expansive historical look at sexual minorities in the modern American workforce. Arguing that queer workers were more visible than hidden and, against the backdrop of state aggression, vulnerable to employer exploitation, Margot Canaday positions employment and fear of job loss as central to gay life in postwar America.
