Trans Toronto: An Oral History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105593482)

Many social theorists claim that the end of the 20th century was the beginning of the "postmodern" era, a time in which many time-honoured ideas were rejected. Trans Toronto explores the claim that trans people demonstrate a wide-spread repudiation of modern conceptions of selfhood and gender. But the opinions of those who live trans lives have yet to be explored. How do trans people understand gender? What do they think of the assertions of postmodern gender theory? Trans Toronto documents answers to these questions in an oral history of Toronto's trans communities at the end of the 20th century telling the story of gender and sex in the context of dramatic cultural and historical change.
