Sommario/riassunto |
|
As a child, he played with trucks and action figures and wanted to be a firefighter. As a youth, he began dressing up in his mother's clothes and becoming sexually aroused. When he started dating, he dreamed of being his girlfriends. "What am I?" he asked his therapist. "A transsexual? A transvestite? Something else?" This vignette describes a man who experiences autogynephilia: a paraphilic disorder in which men who are attracted to women are also erotically aroused by the idea of being women and sometimes want to undergo sex reassignment and live as women. Men Trapped in Men's Bodies explores the phenomenon of autogynephilia, arguing cogently that it accounts for many cases of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism in Western countries. The book demonstrates that not all MtF transsexuals conform to the familiar stereotype of women trapped in men's bodies: Many resemble—and |

even describe themselves as—men trapped in men's bodies. Sometimes at odds with conventional wisdom about the interrelationships of sex, gender, and sexuality, the book examines the manifestations and clinical implications of autogynephilia, based on narratives provided by over 300 autogynephilic MtF transsexuals and transgender persons: stories of shame and confusion, courage and self-acceptance. The final chapter examines current and possible future treatment options for autogynephilic gender dysphoric men. Included in this important volume are: • Narratives by autogynephilic transsexuals • Developmental histories of autogynephilic transsexuals • Descriptions of different types of autogynephilia • Autogynephilia's relationship to heterosexuality • Narratives by nontranssexual autogynephiles • Contrasting views of the meaning of autogynephilia For researchers who study gender dysphoria, MtF transsexualism, paraphilias, and related conditions, and for clinicians who treat patients with these conditions, Men Trapped in Men's Bodies provides an essential resource for understanding an underappreciated aspect of MtF transsexualism. For MtF transsexuals and transgender persons, as well as their partners, family members, friends, and associates, the book is a welcome new source of information and validation. . |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides a detailed examination of ichnology during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction in China, focusing on the recovery patterns of marine trace-making organisms. It features a wealth of high-quality ichnofossil photographs and figures, offering readers a comprehensive guide to ichnotaxa identifications and descriptions from both South and North China, spanning the Late Permian to the Middle Triassic. The chapters cover critical topics such as the delayed biotic recovery due to the harsh environmental conditions of the Early Triassic oceans. Ichnological data is highlighted as a crucial tool for assessing the recovery process and patterns of marine trace-making organisms. The book includes ecological and sedimentological data, providing insights into the recovery patterns of marine infaunas across various habitats. It systematically presents semi-quantitative parameters of |

several ecological proxies, proposing different recovery models based on extensive data. Written by authorities in the field, this book is an invaluable reference for ecological and ichnological researchers. It is designed for undergraduates and graduate students in earth sciences, as well as researchers and professionals interested in ichnology and marine recovery post-extinction. This publication is an essential resource for understanding the intricate dynamics of marine ecosystems during one of Earth's most significant biocrises. It is a crucial addition to the field, offering a unique perspective on the recovery patterns of marine trace-making organisms in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction. |
