Book Synopsis
While medical identification and treatment of gender dysphoria have existed for decades, the development of transgender as a ""collective political identity"" is a recent construct. The Remarkable Rise of Transgender Rights explains the growth of the transgender rights movement despite its marginalized status.

Trade Review
The Remarkable Rise of Transgender Rights not only is the first comprehensive treatment of the success of the trans rights movement, but also serves as a blue print for any other ‘essentially contested rights' movement. If I may make a bold prediction, this will become the model by which other rights treatment books are structured and judged."" - Charles Anthony Smith, University of California, Irvine

""The authors have done an excellent job in tackling a complicated and compelling set of issues with humanity, eloquence, and rigor. This book will be of interest to faculty, to students, and to members of the larger LGBTQ community, including activists. Highly recommended!"" - Craig Rimmerman, Hobart and William Smith Colleges
