Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What is a person's gender? How do we determine whether someone is a man or a woman? Who gets to decide the sex of an individual: the individual, parents, doctors, judges, politicians, God? And how does medical transformation of one's body impact an individual's psychological, social, cultural and biological status? In this fascinating, eminently readable work--originally published in France in 1997 and now translated into English for the first time--French psychoanalyst Colette Chiland grapples with these questions as she explores the many dimensions of gender and gender discomfort. Transsexualism: Illusion and Reality masterfully combines the insights of psychology, psychoanalysis, history, anthropology, sociology and personal experience to rethink transsexualism within the frames of identity, subjectivity and the wider social-historical world. Chiland's compelling text challenges readers of every sexual identity and orientation to reconsider their notions about the origins, implications and possibilities of gender. Synopsis:The first English translation of a defining study of transsexualism, originally published in France.
