The Transgender Studies Reader by Susan Stryker

Bringing together the voices and experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists, and academically-based theorists, this title documents the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. It is designed as a foundational text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and related queer theory.

"As both a prefix and an adjective, 'trans' goes over, across, and beyond, making the possibilities seem endless for trans(gender) studiesHowever, to advance or progress requires some point of departure. For trans(gender) studies to evolve, we must have a solid understanding of where it all began. The Transgender Studies Reader is indispensable for its ability to encapsulate the century of dialog that has become what appears to be a decade-old phenomenon."

— Brice Smith, Women's Studies Quarterly
