Trans Individuals Lived Experiences of Harm : Gender, Identity and Recognition Hardback
by Katie McBride
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Victims and Victimology series
Hardback
Description
This book explores how neoliberal consumer capitalist ideals of meritocracy, competitive individualism, and responsibilisation have shaped trans people’s subjectivity and lived experiences of harm.
The book critiques the adequacy of legal constructs of hate crime to acknowledge the social harms experienced.
The deep ethnographic data illuminates a variety of social harms that result from the failure of social structures and systems to acknowledge gender identities beyond the binary.
The book offers a historically grounded theorisation of anti-trans sentiment to produce a persuasive argument for understanding the harms of hate as recognitive harms.
In this sense, the book opens up a path to theorizing the empirically documented emotional and psychological harms of both transphobia and transnormative ideals, as rooted in a binary gender order that has been invigorated by the hyper individualism and competitiveness of capitalist neoliberalism.
