Whether on birth certificates or college admissions applications or on bathroom doors, why do we need to mark people and places with sex categories? Do they serve a real purpose or are these places and forms just mechanisms of exclusion? Heath Fogg Davis offers an impassioned call to rethink the usefulness of dividing the world into not just Male and Female categories but even additional categories of Transgender and gender fluid. Davis, himself a transgender man, explores the underlying gender-enforcing policies and customs in American life that have led to transgender bathroom bills, college admissions controversies, and more, arguing that it is necessary for our society to take real steps to challenge the assumption that gender matters. He examines four areas where we need to re-think our sex-classification systems: sex-marked identity documents such as birth certificates, driver?s licenses and passports; sex-segregated public restrooms; single-sex colleges; and sex-segregated sports. Speaking from his own experience and drawing upon major cases of sex discrimination in the news and in the courts, Davis presents a persuasive case for challenging how individuals are classified according to sex and offers concrete recommendations for alleviating sex identity discrimination and sex-based disadvantage. For anyone in search of pragmatic ways to make our world more inclusive, Davis? recommendations provide much-needed practical guidance about how to work through this complex issue. A provocative call to action, Beyond Trans pushes us to think how we can work to make America truly inclusive of all people. 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 606 $aSexism$zUnited States 606 $aGender identity$zUnited States 606 $aTransgender people$zUnited States 606 $aTransphobia$zUnited States 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aSexism 615 0$aGender identity 615 0$aTransgender people 615 0$aTransphobia 676 $a306.76/80973 700 $aDavis$b Heath Fogg$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01622787 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809616803321 996 $aBeyond Trans$93956831 997 $aUNINA
