| THE MONSTER LIST!
Editors Note: The following list originally
was hosted on the University of Southampton (UK) Department of Social
Work Studies web site. As it is probably THE most comprehensive listings
of resources on the subject I've ever seen I am reposting it here from
a 2002 archive copy as a public service. The only changes I have made
to the list are to organize it in a more readable form (as it seemed
somewhat confusing in its original format).

How do White Middle-Class Crossdressers and Transsexuals relate to
Transgendered People of Color? In the audience discussion, it was
brought out that our diversity can paralyze us.Ethnic issues can often
cloud overall transgender issues. Many White transgendered are reluctant
to approach other communites, fearful of simmering resentments. -

and community-building for people of color at the only annual national

workshop explores the ways racism impacts all our lives and helps
us move from guilt to action.

- Whose feminism is it anyway? The Unspoken Racism of the Trans
Inclusion Debate (Emi Koyama, PDF
Download: Web
Page from which to download file.) From the web Site: Eminism.org,
the official web site for Emi Koyama, the activist/author/academic
working on intersex, sex workers' rights, (queer) domestic violence,
genderqueer, anti-racism, and other issues. "In the trans and feminist
communities, everyone has an opinion or two about Michigan Womyn's
Music Festival and its 'womyn-born-womyn' policy. But have you noticed
how everybody invokes 'feminism' as the reason for their wildly varying
positions? Emi takes apart the racist attitudes that are present in
most sides of the controversy and urges white transsexual activists
to allign themselves with women of color instead of trying to appease
white women's racism."

- The tyranny of the gender binary - "There must

violation of socially learned beliefs. - Sunday Times Magazine,
October, 2001(sorry no link anymore, just the quote)
- The
worse of both worlds (2 parts) N/A: "How would you feel if
you'd grown up thinking you were a girl and discovered at 20 that,
genetically, you were a man? ..But in the West since the 1950s, standard
medical procedure for treating children born with ambiguous genitalia
has been to assign them a gender quickly to avoid ridicule and rejection...
Surgeons, geneticists, endocrinologists and clinical psychologists
form a team to decide, usually within a few days, what sex the child
is to be designated. The rationale is that parents must be told as
quickly as possible to prevent them from rejecting the child. This
medical response is based on the assumption that normality is essential
for parental and social acceptance and happiness."

"Performativity is the process for individuals of repeating and

multiple genders may seem alien to some cultures that lack the linguistic
capacity to describe them, in many societies this is not the case.
But are gender categories even necessary? Why must one become a fa'afafine
in order to perform "women's work"? What is "women's work"? "Men's
work"? Are words such as transgender, transsexual, transvestite, hermaphrodite
and berdache accurate descriptions of who we are? Or are they just
convenient (or in some cases, derogatory) categories for containing
the unknown?"

and "opposite" genders, masculinity and femininity. This gender dualism
is not only false and without any factual or scientific support, but
also very harmful. One strategy to overcome this wrongness is the
idea of androgyny, by which masculinity and femininity are not conceived
as opposite ends of one spectrum, but as two separate spectrums: you
can be or have both at once (or neither), not only the one or the
other."

Volume 1, sexual categories have become conceptually and ideologically
suspect. Building on Foucault's post-structural critique of sexual
ideas and discourses, lesbian, gay, and feminist theorists have repeatedly
contested the essential, intrinsic, or universal character of sexual
identities."
- Is
Gender Identity Disorder in Children a Mental Disorder? (Sex
Roles) "Because of flaws in the DSM-IV definition of mental disorder,
and limitations of the current research base, there is insufficient
evidence to make any conclusive statement regarding children who experience
discomfort with their biological sex. The concluding recommendation
is that, given current knowledge, the diagnostic category of GID in
children in its current form should not appear in future editions
of the DSM."

- April, 2001 - by Patience W. Crozier, Boston College Third World

and supporting parental and medical efforts to pathologize gender
non-conforming children... Gender Non-Conforming Youth in Schools:
Both Invisible and Targeted by the Enforcement of a Binary Gender
Model... Profound and enduring change in how gender should be viewed
and how difference should be respected will not occur without major

Lives: The Erasure of Transsexual and Transgendered People.-
2000 - by Viviane K. Namaste: "Namaste explores myriad ways by which
transsexual and transgender (TS/TG) persons are erased, or excluded,
from various social institutions, including academe, medicine, and
social service organizations... This book is unique because of its
focus on the exclusion of transsexuals from social systems and institutions,
rather than the production of transsexuals via medicine and psychiatry...
In the second section of the book, on culture, Namaste conducts extensive
literary criticism, focusing on the erasure of TS/TG persons in popular
culture and rhetoric... In the final section of the book, on institutions,
Namaste's proposed
activist research shines through during her discussion of research
politics, methods, and the findings from her interviews with 33
Canadian TS/TG individuals. She opens this most interesting section
of the book with a discussion of queer-bashing and the conflation
of sexuality and gender in homophobic and transphobic attacks..."
- Latino
Commission on AIDS: "The transgender community has been among
the most affected communities when it comes to HIV/AIDS but we are
often disregarded in the rush to address how AIDS impacts a specific
community,” said Nora Molina, a Latina transsexual activist in a sentiment
also shared by other participants. “This is particularly neglectful
considering that there is also no funding for research on HIV/AIDS
in transgender or transsexual communities of color,” she added.

a month after 21-year-old Matthew Shepherd was pistol-whipped and
lashed to a fence on a rural Wyoming road in subfreezing temperatures,
Rita Hester, a 34-year-old transgendered woman in Allston, Mass.,
was stabbed some 20 times in the chest. Just before New Year's Eve,
Vianna Faye Williams, a 36-year-old preoperative transsexual in Jersey
City, N.J., was stabbed nine times in her back, neck, and chest. In
January, Donald Fuller, an 18-year-old cross-dresser who went by the
name Lauryn Paige, was found stabbed with his throat cut in a patch
of woods in Austin. In February, Houston police reported that an unknown
man wearing women's clothing was shot several times in a motel parking
lot. In March, Tracey Thompson, a 33-year-old transgendered woman,
was beaten on a Georgia country road. All died."

of the murder of Rita Hester. Rita, an African-American transsexual
woman, was found in her apartment in Allston on November 28, 1998.
In the Boston area alone, one transsexual woman, usually of Afro-American
decent, has been murdered every year for the last 5 years. Per capita,
this is an alarming rate.
