Transgender cultural activism in the United States: Sexed bodies, gender identities, contentious politics, and social change.

Transgender cultural activism in the United States: Sexed bodies, gender identities, contentious politics, and social change. - 322 p.

Adviser: Deborah Elliston.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Binghamton, 2007.

Based on 15 months of participant-observation fieldwork and over 100 interviews with activists, this dissertation analyzes the growing US American transgender movement, investigating both how the movement is imagined by participants and the social changes they seek to make. Given the relative scholarly silence on the subjects of gay/lesbian, queer, and transgender cultural activism and social movements, my research is also aimed in part at documenting this movement, its participants, and the social change goals being forwarded. Framed around three overlapping sets of research questions, I investigate understandings of sexed bodies, gender identities, and sexual desires, the role and uses of identity, and the social change activists are attempting.

520 $a Based on 15 months of participant-observation fieldwork and over 100 interviews with activists, this dissertation analyzes the growing US American transgender movement, investigating both how the movement is imagined by participants and the social changes they seek to make. Given the relative scholarly silence on the subjects of gay/lesbian, queer, and transgender cultural activism and social movements, my research is also aimed in part at documenting this movement, its participants, and the social change goals being forwarded. Framed around three overlapping sets of research questions, I investigate understandings of sexed bodies, gender identities, and sexual desires, the role and uses of identity, and the social change activists are attempting.
520 $a The category transgender unites people who share the experience of not having their gender identities recognized and respected. Current understandings of sex/gender are central to personhood in American society and everyone must possess one of two congruent sex/gender possibilities to be culturally intelligible. Transgender identities and embodiments, in rejecting these norms, seem incoherent and challenge normative conceptualizations of sexed bodied, gender identities, and sexualities. These challenges posed by trans activists are a central analytical concern of this project.
520 $a Additionally, as a form of cultural activism, identity politics reworked, I analyze trans activists' attention to the specificities of identification and oppression in organizing and their efforts to build bridges, coalitions, and links to larger struggles for social justice. The multiplicity of identifications within 'transgender' counter simple reading of this as identity politics for non-normatively sexed/gendered people. Through ethnographic analysis, I evidence the gap between the practices of movement activists and discourses that frame identity politics as hurtful, exclusionary, and incapable of creating systemic changes.
520 $a This dissertation draws on activists' articulations of historical movement narratives, the politics of inclusion/exclusion, theorizations of sex/gender/sexuality, the prioritizing of goals, the role and uses of identity, the selection of organizing theories, methods, and strategies, and finally, activists' visions of success. In addition to creating useful scholarly knowledge, this dissertation aims to create knowledge of use to trans activists as they build this movement and refine debates and critiques, bridging differences, and mobilizing new people.
