Bertold Ulsamer Learning Transgender: From the Outside Looking In

Produktbeskrivelse

Transgender is not familiar to all people, for some it is new and somehow incomprehensible. It was the same for me. But I wanted to understand more about it. This book contains my journey into the uncharted territory of transgender and some of what lies nearby. This is a book for readers who also want to understand more about what is behind transgender and why some of it is so controversial. These are the questions I asked myself: Why is transgender coming to the forefront, especially in this day and age?What is a man? What is a woman?Do you have a gender or has it been "assigned" to you?What are possible causes when someone feels he or she has been assigned the wrong gender?How can sports solve the dilemma of trans women?What if someone wrongly thinks he or she is transgender?What if transgender becomes fashionable among teens and children?Where do the huge waves of general anger and outrage in society come from?Does "victim culture" describe what is happening in American universities?How to deal with pain and anger from personal history?What's behind deadnaming, microaggressions, and trigger warnings?Are arguments about transgender perhaps distracting from other issues? From which ones?Is there a spiritual dimension of transgender?I am not a biologist, not a sociologist, not a philosopher, not a historian, certainly not a gender researcher (all of this also not in the feminine, but only in the so limited masculine form!). What I bring to the table: my expertise as a psychologist and therapist, my life experience, and my relatively practical "common sense" (if such a thing even exists). Methodologically, I've spent a lifetime educating myself in psychology. You'll find some of that here.
