Their experiences provide rare insights into not only gender and sexuality but also self-perception and identity construction, both personal and social.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first volume specifically on the topic, \u003ci\u003eGender and Sexual Identity\u003c\/i\u003e presents transgender theory in depth, differentiating it from feminist and queer theories as well as from biological essentialist views on gender. Identifying a middle ground between qualitative and quantitative findings on gender, the authors analyze fluidly embodied, socially constructed, and self-constructed aspects of identity in transgendered individuals' lives. This focus on lived experience illustrates how these facets of identity can unite in an integrated self, and how this self can become a springboard for empowerment and advocacy as well as understanding across the gender spectrum.
