This book advances a pragmatic approach to the act of defining that acknowledges the important ethical dimensions of our definitional practices. Increased transgender rights and visibility has been met with increased opposition, controversy, and even violence. Who should have the power to define the meanings of sex and gender? What values and interests are advanced by competing definitions? Should an all-boys' college or high school allow transgender boys to apply? Should transgender women be allowed to use the women's bathroom? How has growing recognition of intersex conditions challenged our definitions of sex/gender? In this timely intervention, Edward Schiappa examines the key sites of debate and including schools, bathrooms, the military, sports, prisons, and feminism, drawing attention to the political, practical, and ethical dimensions of the act of defining itself. This is an important text for students and scholars in gender studies, philosophy, communication, and sociology"-- Provided by publisher. 606 $aTransgender people$xLegal status, laws, etc 615 0$aTransgender people$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a306.768 700 $aSchiappa$b Edward$f1954-$01084678 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512201503321 996 $aTransgender exigency$92996304 997 $aUNINA
