Methodologically innovative and theoretically sophisticated, this brave book exposes how transgender people in the United States are increasingly subject to state-sanctioned violence and surveillance practices. . . . This book will occupy a central place on my shelf as it bridges the fields of surveillance, trans, and media studies, and critical race and feminist theory. I can't wait to teach it. -Shoshana Magnet, associate professor at the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies, University of Ottawa -- Shoshana Magnet Terrorizing Gender is an incendiary contribution to media studies and transgender studies. With brilliant rigor, Fischer shows how recent U.S. transgender visibility has occasioned a revival of narratives presenting trans people as deviant and threatening. . . . The result, as Fischer masterfully illustrates, is an extremely limited public trans visibility, premised on replicating white supremacy and violent policing of those trans people who do not or will not comply with state regulation. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in transgender politics and media. -Aren Z. Aizura, assistant professor in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota, and author of Mobile Subjects: Transnational Imaginaries of Gender Reassignment -- Aren Z. Aizura Mia Fischer's Terrorizing Gender valuably unsettles normative assumptions and reveals precarious implications of the vaunted transgender `tipping point.'. . . Terrorizing Gender's compelling necropolitical critique floodlights the conditions and obfuscations of trans precarity, and its closing call to embody Tourmaline's politics of `nobodiness' offers a promising glimpse of visibility's queer future. -Charles E. Morris III, professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University and coeditor of QED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking -- Charles E. Morris III
