Beyond Trans pushes the conversation on gender identity to its limits: questioning the need for gender categories in the first place. Whether on birth certificates or college admissions applications or on bathroom doors, why do we need to mark people and places with sex categories? Do they serve a real purpose or are these places and forms just mechanisms of exclusion? Heath Fogg Davis offers an impassioned call to rethink the usefulness of dividing the world into not just Male and Female categories but even additional categories of Transgender and gender fluid. Davis, himself a transgender man, explores the underlying gender-enforcing policies and customs in American life that have led to transgender bathroom bills, college admissions controversies, and more, arguing that it is necessary for our society to take real steps to challenge the assumption that gender matters.
He examines four areas where we need to re-think our sex-classification systems: sex-marked identity documents such as birth certificates, driver’s licenses and passports; sex-segregated public restrooms; single-sex colleges; and sex-segregated sports. Speaking from his own experience and drawing upon major cases of sex discrimination in the news and in the courts, Davis presents a persuasive case for challenging how individuals are classified according to sex and offers concrete recommendations for alleviating sex identity discrimination and sex-based disadvantage.
For anyone in search of pragmatic ways to make our world more inclusive, Davis’ recommendations provide much-needed practical guidance about how to work through this complex issue. A provocative call to action, Beyond Trans pushes us to think how we can work to make America truly inclusive of all people.

Suicide rate for this group is hugely disproportionate, tolerance might be a good start when it comes to combatting this. Kindness bestows grace on the giver.

It’s so weird that only on the trans books are people leaving hateful, asshat comments…things that make you go hmmmmmm?
May 22nd, 2018
lol it isn’t only on the trans books ppl leave supposedly hateful comments. they can appear on various nonfiction subjects. you just aren’t looking
as for tolerance, that does not combat the suicide rates for those who are trans. many are completely accepted yet they still off themselves.

@dannie9 - That is very true, the suicide rates have remained stubbornly high. But, we have to admit that we are only at the foothills of tolerance on this issue, and we are still a good distance away from full acceptance and understanding.
As far as “hateful” comments, I think I’ve even spotted a few on the children’s books uploads.

Just because you are compassionate about mental illness, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and get people the help they need.
May 23rd, 2018
Yes, and the help they need is transitioning. I don’t understand why people seem to think that convincing people they’re not trans hasn’t been tried before. It has. It simply doesn’t work.
But y’all are obviously more qualified to judge than actual doctors who specialize in this.

I only clicked on this for the inevitable fascist commentary.
