• 摘要註: "Books in this anthology series focus a wide range of viewpoints onto a single controversial issue, providing in-depth discussions by leading advocates, a quick grounding in the issues, and a challenge to critical thinking skills"-- Long relegated to the margins of both mainstream society and the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) movement, the transgender community is finally having a coming-out party of its own, and making quantum leaps both culturally and politically. Although transgender people are benefitting from recent landmark legal gains and a meteoric rise in popular culture, the 1.5 million Americans who identify as transgender continue to face deeply entrenched systemic discrimination, widespread misunderstanding, and powerful political backlash. The authors included in At Issue: Transgender People represent a wide range of viewpoints about what it means to be transgender, how far the government and social institutions should go to accommodate transgender people, and the role of health care in the lives of transgender children and adults. -- Taken from introduction, pages 7 - 11 of volume.
