The complete book of cooking equipment
1981
Wilkinson, Jule
Much of the legal advocacy for trans and gender-nonconforming people in the US has reflected the civil rights and "equality" strategies of mainstream gay and lesbian organizations--agitating for legal reforms that would ostensibly guarantee equal access, nondiscrimination, and equal protection under the law. This approach assumes that the state and its legal, policing, and social services apparatus are neutral and benevolent. While we all have to comply with the gender binaries set forth by regulatory bodies of law and administration, many trans people are even more at risk for poverty, violence, and premature death by virtue of those same "neutral" legal structures. This book raises revelatory critiques of the current strategies pivoting solely on a legal rights framework, but also points to examples of an organized grassroots trans movement that is demanding the most essential of legal reforms in addition to making interventions into dangerous systems of repression. Setting forth a politic that goes beyond the quest for mere legal inclusion, Normal Life is an urgent call for justice and trans liberation, and the radical transformations it will require. --From publisher description.
