Get a detailed look at the Thai sex/gender system—through analysis of the personal stories from transgendered youth in Thailand The Thai term sao braphet song (a “second type of woman”) describes males who reject the gender of masculinity for femininity. Male Bodies, Women’s Souls: Personal Narratives of Thailand’s Transgendered Youth uses the narrative method, stories in the words of these “second type of women” to analyze these transgendered experiences. This previously ignored perspective of the Thai sex/gender system gained through this theoretical and methodological approach offers students and general readers a rich, more readily accessible foundation of knowledge about gendered subjectivity and sex/gender systems. Male Bodies, Women’s Souls: Personal Narratives of Thailand’s Transgendered Youth features in-depth, autobiographical life histories from individual Thai transgendered youth. Life stories, told in the participants’ own words, provides an engaging, at times touching, always insightful look at Thai culture’s sex/gender system. The authors then expertly analyze the narratives to illuminate common themes and constructions within this group, allowing an opportunity for contrast and discussion on transgender experiences in other nations. Male Bodies, Women’s Souls: Personal Narratives of Thailand’s Transgendered Youth analyzes the major themes in the stories, including: identities definitions and descriptive labels etiologies of sao braphet song-ness the notion of acceptance narrator motivations for participating in the project Male Bodies, Women’s Souls: Personal Narratives of Thailand’s Transgendered Youth is illuminating, reflective reading for educators, undergraduate students, graduate students, researchers, or anyone interested in discovering more about transgenderism in a specific cultural context.

My name is Emma Jane Preston and I am 52 years old from Blackburn, Lancashire. I am not a transgender celebrity, transgender actress, model or socialite. I am just Emma, a shop keeper down the road in Burnley with two beautiful children. I am a person who happens to live and breathe with red blood. I decided to start writing a diary which soon turned into a couple of chapters. Over time this turned into 8 chapters and then sat doing nothing for a long time. Then one day I started writing again and in the space of 74 days I wrote around 63,000 words. Forewarned - I have had to proof read the book myself as I do not have the money to get it done professionally.Being Transgender is not a science or text book on the world of transgender. It is not a book on the medical process, nor is it a book about the brain and whether it is male or female. You will find no percentage rates of 'this or that'. There are no explanations of all the nuances of LGBTQIA+ or the terms under the umbrella of 'trans' OR 'transgender'.My book is about my journey; an ordinary person with an extraordinary story. Sometimes the book is funny - not in a belly laugh funny but in a comical way. Sometimes it is sad, to the point that I am pretty certain you will feel like crying. Sometimes it is thought provoking and sometimes I just ramble on about life in general.The book is pretty much a diary with the first half talking about my life living on the opposite side. The rest of the book talks about the last four years of my transition.Chapter 101 (purposely named) is a read in itself and shows you just how your moral compass can be tested & affected by your mind-set, others mind-set and all of the curve-balls that life throws at you.Diversity, equality and inclusion are the cornerstone of my values and I try to portray this throughout the book. I am a member of the LGBT community. I am proud of how the community comes together in times of need but I show another side too. This is a side that highlights the beauty of all-human nature; where complete strangers rise up to become fierce friends.I have met some wonderful people in my life but I have also met those that would do harm to me and others in the minority communities. I try so hard in life to judge no-one, though I will explain how I am judged every day of my life. There are people out there who seem unable to treat fellow humans with respect, care and (let's be honest) appropriately. I will talk about having to go to court and two individuals who were sentenced following such an incident. I will talk about running flat out of money and a suicide attempt.However it is not all bad. There have been some great times and I would not walk away from being transgender. However I would not wish it on anyone.You may be reading this and be in staunch opposition to the LGBT community and especially transgender people. That is fine. I would love you to buy my book, have an open mind to reading and understanding my journey. We all have journeys in life, mine is just one. Some of my good friends have breezed through with few (to no) issues, others struggle to even walk out their door. I am in the public eye in so much as I am a retail manager so I see hundreds to thousands of people a day.Imagine if you will, going to work knowing that you will be laughed at, talked about, insulted behind your back and in some cases, right to your face. Imagine knowing that each day you are going to feel the wrath of someone or their ridiculing of you simply because of who you are. I feel that anyone in the minority communities (whether race, religion, creed, sexuality, disability or gender) will know what I mean. I am highly visible on social media, especially Linkedin as well as 3 TV appearances on game shows so I do tend to put myself out there.If you decide to buy my book I thank you with all my heart.Please will you leave a review as soon as you canEmma

A powerful and inspiring story about a transgender teen's struggle to find his own path -- and love his true self. J had always felt different. He was certain that eventually everyone would understand who he really was: a boy mistakenly born as a girl. Yet as he grew up, his body began to betray him; eventually J stopped praying to wake up a "real boy" and started covering up his body, keeping himself invisible -- from his parents, from his friends, from the world. But after being deserted by the best friend he thought would always be by his side, J decides that he's done hiding. It's time to be who he really is. And this time he is determined not to give up, no matter the cost.

The powerful coming-of-age story of an ultra-Orthodox child who was born to become a rabbinic leader and instead became a woman Abby Stein was raised in a Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn, isolated in a culture that lives according to the laws and practices of eighteenth-century Eastern Europe, speaking only Yiddish and Hebrew and shunning modern life. Stein was born as the first son in a dynastic rabbinical family, poised to become a leader of the next generation of Hasidic Jews. But Abby felt certain at a young age that she was a girl. She suppressed her desire for a new body while looking for answers wherever she could find them, from forbidden religious texts to smuggled secular examinations of faith. Finally, she orchestrated a personal exodus from ultra-Orthodox manhood to mainstream femininity-a radical choice that forced her to leave her home, her family, her way of life. Powerful in the truths it reveals about biology, culture, faith, and identity, Becoming Eve poses the enduring question: How far will you go to become the person you were meant to be?

With their trademark candour and empathy, Juno Roche gives voice to a generation of gender explorers who are making gender work for them, and in the process, reveals a kinder, more accepting world, that we should all be fighting for.

The whole concept of gender identity is being increasingly challenged and words such as non-binary, pansexual, transgender, cisgender and gender dysphoria are becoming commonplace. This book explores the cultures and people of the past who have embraced, challenged or quietly subverted society's expectations about gender. It features the current stories of openly transgender people around the world in positions of power and authority who are helping to increase recognition and acceptance of the trans community. And, as trans people often start their journeys in their teens, the book explores the experiences of some young people just at the start of their journeys. The book has a foreword by two patrons of the charity Mermaids. Jake says, ' what is becoming evident is that trans people have been around for centuries, in many guises ... transgender is certainly not trendy fad that the press would have us believe'. This book for children aged 12+ supports the study of the fascinating long history of transgender around the world.
