Description
In a world where gender is policed through law, culture, and everyday violence, this book examines how trans and gender-nonconforming people are made “legible” only through confinement—whether in institutions, media narratives, or the language of rights. Through incisive analysis and grounded critique, it traces the systems that produce captivity and the strategies people use to resist, reimagine identity, and claim autonomy. Blending theory with lived realities, the authors illuminate themes of power, incarceration, and the politics of recognition, asking what it means to be free when gender itself is treated as a managed resource. Written in a sharp, activist-informed style, the work challenges readers to rethink the boundaries of gender and the structures that enforce them.
