Books by Richard Ekins

A title that distinguishes a number of contemporary transgendering 'stories' to illustrate: the binary male/female divide; the interrelations betwen sex, sexuality and gender; the interrelations between the main sub-processes of transgendering. It develops a conceptual framkework for understanding the full range of the transgender experience.

Considers the treatment of gender blenders by the medical framework, in literature, the press and telephone sex lines and examines its prominence in recent contemporary cultural and queer theory.

In this volume, the author details the desires and the varied practices of males who wear the clothes of women for the pleasure it gives them (cross-dressers), or who wish to change sex and are actively going about it (sex-changers).
