Sommario/riassunto

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. Katie McBride is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Plymouth, UK. Before joining academia, Katie was an equality and human rights practitioner working within the public and third sectors on the development and delivery of policy and practice designed to address inequalities and discrimination experienced by marginalised communities. Her key research interests lie in examining hate from a critical perspective with a particular focus on the harms of hate experienced by trans individuals. Katie’s research utilises deep ethnographic participatory methods as a tool to redress the balance of power in research and academia. Her research has explored how adverse childhood experiences, communities of support and structures of governance have impacted on the lived experience of trans individuals.
