Summary:

"Situating trans oppression and resistance within a much larger decolonial struggle, Beyond Personhood provides a new philosophical approach to trans experience, gender dysphoria, and the relationship between gender and identity. By refusing to separate theory from its application, Talia Mae Bettcher shows how everyday experiences of trans people can point the way to a reinvigoration of philosophy"-- Provided by publisher.
