This book is an anthropological analysis of female-to-male gender transition in the UK. The book counters assumptions around identity, the body and gender to explore transitioning as an open-ended process that often defies political and social conventions. It will be relevant to students and scholars interested in gender and subjectivity, biomedicine, the body, sexuality, social theory, transgender studies and queer theory.
