Excellent- More about Trans Individuals Lived Experiences of Harm: Gender, Identity and Recognition
This book explores how neoliberal consumer capitalist ideals of meritocracy, competitive individualism, and responsibilisation have shaped trans peoples subjectivity and lived experiences of harm, critiquing the adequacy of legal constructs of hate crime to acknowledge these social harms. It offers a historically grounded theorisation of anti-trans sentiment to understand the emotional and psychological harms of both transphobia and transnormative ideals, as rooted in a binary gender order.

This captivating book delves into the profound impact of neoliberal consumer capitalist ideals on the subjectivity and lived experiences of trans individuals. It critically examines the inadequacy of legal frameworks designed to address hate crimes, highlighting the social harms that trans people face due to the lack of recognition of their gender identities beyond the binary. Through extensive ethnographic research, the book sheds light on a range of societal issues that arise from the failure of social structures and systems to accommodate diverse gender identities.
Moreover, the book provides a historically grounded theorization of anti-trans sentiment, offering a compelling argument for understanding the harms of hate as recognitive harms. By recognizing the emotional and psychological impacts of transphobia and transnormative ideals, which are deeply rooted in a binary gender order fueled by the hyper individualism and competitiveness of capitalist neoliberalism, the book opens up a path to theorizing the empirically documented emotional and psychological harms experienced by trans individuals.
This thought-provoking work is a must-read for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between neoliberal ideology, gender identity, and social justice. It sheds light on the urgent need for transformative change and provides valuable insights into the experiences of trans people in our society.
