Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource for the Transgender Community is a 2014 non-fiction book published by Oxford University Press.[1] Edited by psychiatrist Laura Erickson-Schroth, it covers health and wellness for transgender people.[2] It was a 27th Lambda Literary Awards finalist in the Transgender Non-Fiction category and won a 2015 Achievement Award from GLMA: Healthcare Professionals for LGBT Equality.[3]
Production
The project was inspired by the women's health book Our Bodies, Ourselves.[4][5] The editor put out a call for submissions in 2011.[6] Each section was written under the guidance of expert advisors. The foreword is by author Jennifer Finney Boylan.
Reception
The book received generally positive reviews, including in peer-reviewed journals focusing on gender and health.[7][8] [9] It also received positive coverage in the mainstream press. Jessica Grose wrote in New Republic that the anthology is "brimming with straightforward information about living a life as a gender-nonconforming person in the United States."[10] It was named to several top-ten lists for 2014.[11][12]
