This timely volume examines the ways in which queer and trans theory are supported by recent findings from psychological science. In it, Ella Ben Hagai and Eileen Zurbriggen explore foundational ideas from queer thought and transgender theory including the instability of gender, variation in sexualities, intersectional theory, and trans writers' rejection of the "born in the wrong body" narrative. These key ideas are juxtaposed with innovative empirical psychological research on the fluidity of gender, the proliferation of sexual identities, and transgender affirming medical and psychological care. This book explains the history and politics of key ideas shaping the study of the psychology of gender and sexuality today. It also describes the ways that the queer and trans* revolutions have changed how psychologists understand gender, sexuality, and transgender identities. It will be especially helpful for readers interested in interdisciplinary scholarship.

Ella Ben Hagai is an assistant professor at California State University, Fullerton. Her psychological research is influenced by queer writing on Israel/Palestine, neoliberalism, and the historical construction of sexualities. Some of her recent articles examine coalitional activism for Palestine and differences in the ways that millennials and baby boomers understand and construct gay, lesbian and transgender identities. Her most recent book, Undoing the Gender Binary (Cambridge University Press) with Charlotte Tate and Faye Crosby examines psychological research on transgender identity from a trans affirming perspective.

Eileen L. Zurbriggen is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she is also affiliated with the Department of Feminist Studies. Her research focuses on behaviors in which power and sex are linked (such as rape and childhood sexual abuse), on psychological linkages between power, objectification, and sex, on the sexualization of girls and women, and on media representations of sex, power, and gender. She is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. With Tomi-Ann Roberts, she edited the book The Sexualization of Girls and Girlhood: Causes, Consequences, and Resistance, published by Oxford University Press.
