"Trans women-- assigned male at birth and later transitioned into a female gender-- are recently in media because of celebrities and controversial legislation. Therefore cis men-- who identify with a masculine gender they were assigned at birth-- are now called upon to share their experiences as lovers of trans women. Using theory and personal anecdotes, the author questions the codes that cis men and trans women use to interpret their own and others' gendered and sexed bodies." --

« Pour le commun des mortelles trans, la route était barrée dès le début. Pas de taf, pas de mariage, pas de bébé, et, si une femme trans pouvait être une muse, personne ne voulait d’une œuvre où elle s’exprime elle-même. »Ames, Reese et Katrina vivent à New York. Par le passé, Amy et Reese formaient un couple de femmes trans. Puis Amy a détransitionné pour devenir Ames et a rencontré Katrina. Il reste abasourdi quand elle lui annonce sa grossesse, persuadé d’être stérile après avoir pris des hormones pendant de nombreuses années. Il a beaucoup de mal à accepter de devenir père et pense pouvoir le faire à une seule condition : impliquer son ex, Reese, qui a toujours rêvé d’être mère. Iels vont alors tenter d’inventer une famille queer où chacun·e pourrait trouver sa place.Detransition, Baby, qui emprunte la forme d’un soap contemporain, détonne dans le champ de la littérature et accompagne l’entrée de la culture trans dans les imaginaires. Torrey Peters aborde avec une bonne dose de provocation et d’humour les tabous liés au genre, au sexe et à la parentalité.

"In the updated second edition of Whipping Girl, Julia Serano, a transsexual woman whose supremely intelligent writing reflects her diverse background as a lesbian transgender activist and professional biologist, shares her powerful experiences and observations -- both pre- and post-transition -- to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole. Serano's well-honed arguments stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. In this provocative manifesto, she exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive, and how this "feminine" weakness exists only to attract and appease male desire. In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to embrace and empower femininity -- in all of its wondrous forms."--

"In Selfie Aesthetics, Nicole Erin Morse argues that selfies, and selfies by trans feminine creators specifically, interpellate viewers in politically committed encounters. Morse's close readings of individual selfies uncover complex formal strategies that belie the sense that these are artless or disposable media. Rather than narcissistic or frivolous, selfie creators are artists in political networks who present improvisational identities and new modes of performative resistance. Focusing on four formal strategies-doubling, seriality, collaborative improvisation, and nonlinear temporalities-Selfie Aesthetics shows not only the art of the polysemic form, but also the materialities of trans life that selfies convey. Tracing these strategies in selfies and self-representational art by artists including Zackary Drucker, Vivek Shraya, Tourmaline, Alok Vaid-Menon, Zinnia Jones, and Natalie Wynn, Selfie Aesthetics demonstrates the aesthetic depth and political utility of selfie creation, distribution, and reception. Contributing to trans feminist political analysis, Selfie Aesthetics shows how digital self-representational art can nuance key insights of queer theory, expand our understanding of self-representation, and construct collective and collaborative modes of being"--

The mass shooting at a queer Latin Night in Orlando in July 2016 sparked a public conversation about access to pleasure and selfhood within conditions of colonization, violence, and negation. Queer Nightlife joins this conversation by centering queer and trans people of color who apprehend the risky medium of the night to explore, know, and stage their bodies, genders, and sexualities in the face of systemic and social negation. The book focuses on house parties, nightclubs, and bars that offer improvisatory conditions and possibilities for "stranger intimacies," and that privilege music, dance, and sexual/gender expressions. Queer Nightlife extends the breadth of research on "everynight life" through twenty-five essays and interviews by leading scholars and artists. The book's four sections move temporally from preparing for the night (how do DJs source their sounds, what does it take to travel there, who promotes nightlife, what do people wear?); to the socialities of nightclubs (how are social dance practices introduced and taught, how is the price for sex negotiated, what styles do people adopt to feel and present as desirable?); to the staging and spectacle of the night (how do drag artists confound and celebrate gender, how are spaces designed to create the sensation of spectacularity, whose bodies become a spectacle already?); and finally, how the night continues beyond the club and after sunrise (what kinds of intimacies and gestures remain, how do we go back to the club after Orlando?).
