Reviews

“In this smart collection of essays, trans feminist scholars show us how cisness is constructed, imposed, naturalized, racialized, scientized, stabilized, policed, resisted, twisted, disputed, and refused. They remind us that the dominant fictions of gender sustain race, class, and colonial hierarchies and they point us toward the solidarities we need in our troubled political moment.” -- Joanne Meyerowitz, author of * How Sex Changed: A History of Transsexuality in the United States * “From the first sentence—‘Cisness is feminism’s counterrevolution’—this collection radically rewires our thinking, making visible the work that cisness has been doing all along. I’d buy it just for Emma Heaney’s introduction, which gifts us ‘a theory of sexual difference without cisness.’ Happily, the rest of the volume, consisting of essays by field-defining thinkers, is equally groundbreaking. This collection is the most vital intervention in feminist/trans thought I’ve seen in a very long time.” -- Paisley Currah, author of * Sex Is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity *
