At 8 years old, after playing with a feral cat, she became ill with what doctors first suspected might be the flu. Soon unable to swallow or stand, Precious was flown to UC Davis Children’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with severe brain inflammation caused by rabies – a combination that’s almost always fatal. A team of UC Davis critical care and infectious disease specialists placed her in a drug-induced coma. With the help of antiviral medication and her own tenacious spirit, Precious fiercely wrestled the disease and became the third person in the U.S. to survive rabies without a vaccine. Today, this vibrant young girl dreams of becoming a veterinarian.

    FROM “TELLING TRANSGENDER STORIES” TO “TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TELLING STORIES”: TRANSGENDER LITERATURE AND THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDS, 1997-2017 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew J.

Levine, Sociology Dr. Tom Waidzunas, Sociology Dr. Heath Fogg Davis, External Member, Political Science © Copyright 2018 by Andrew J. Yo u n g All Rights Res erved ii ABSTRACT Transgender lives and identities have gained considerable popular notoriety in the past decades. As part of this wider visibility, dominant narratives regarding the “transgender experience” have surfaced in both the community itself and the wider public. Perhaps the most prominent of these narratives define transgender people as those living in the “wrong body” for their true gender identity. While a popular and powerful story, the wrong body narrative has been criticized as limited, not representing the experience of all transgender people, and valorized as the only legitimate identifier of transgender status. The dominance of this narrative has been challenged through the proliferation of alternate narratives of transgender identity, largely through transgender people telling their own stories, which has the potential to complicate and expand the social understanding of what it means to be transgender for both trans- and cisgender communities. I focus on transgender literature as a point of entrance into the changing narratives of transgender identity and experience. This work addresses two main questions: What are the stories being told by trans lit? and What are the stories being told about trans literature? What follows is a series of separate, yet linked chapters exploring the contours of transgender literature, largely through the context of the Lambda Literary Awards over the past twenty years.

In the period from the late 1990s until the mid-2000s, critical in-depth research into the intimacies associated with polyamory gained momentum. Special issues also appeared in the Journal for Lesbian Studies (Munson and Stelboum, 1999) the Journal of Bisexuality (Anderlini-D’Onofrio, 2004) and the bilingual (English and German) Journal für Psychologie (Mattes and Dege, 2014). Barker and Langdridge (2010a) have documented the major developments in the field in a comprehensive review article for Sexualities. Their edited volume Understanding Non-monogamies (2010b), too, has made a lot of novel theorisations of polyamory accessible to a wider readership. A number of international conferences, too, have addressed questions of consensual non-monogamy. The path-breaking International Conference on Polyamory 2 and Monnonormativity took place at the Research Centre for Feminist, Gender and Queer Studies at Hamburg University in November 2005.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 the Background of the Research

    A n a n d a | 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of The Research Literary works have been crucial pieces of evidence that represent the issues of human history. One of the issues that literary works present is the struggle of the transgender to claim their rights as humans being. The issue of equality of transgender rights is still controversial to this day. It is due to the diversity of opinions and considerations for the community. One of them is considerations according to specific religions and cultures that deny the existence of the third gender in society. However, it also became a debate among human rights activists. According to them, every human being has the right to get an equal and decent life like other humans being. This gender inequality is also caused by a patriarchal culture that is still strict. The power in determining a choice is still dominates by men. This patriarchal system is still used consciously or unconsciously in various countries. With this patriarchal system, all decisions are only seen from man's point of view, making the existence of a third gender still controversial. One of the literary works that reveal the history of Transgender is The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff. Ebershoff is the first writer who tells the beginning of sex-change surgery and transgender issues in his debut novel, The Danish Girl, published in 2000. This novel is base on a true story from the first legal transgender recorded in the medical world. The novel is set in Copenhagen, A n a n d a | 2 Denmark, where Einar Wegener, a famous painter in the 1920s, decided to changes his identity to became a woman.

" —Leslie Feinberg Dear Friends: Leslie Feinberg is out. In the tradition of Edmund White's This Boy's Life and Paul Monette's Becoming a Man, Feinberg's long-awaited book, TRANSGENDER WARRIORS: A History of Resistance from Joan of Arc to RuPaul reveals the remarkable story of one person's journey to self-discovery and liberation. And, as Feinberg discovers, hirs is not a unique journey, but one that has roots throughout history and in cultures around the world. I'm pleased to enclose a copy for your review. Filled with more than 100 (many never before published) illustrations of transgenders around the world, Transgender Warriors marks the coming out of a people previously unknown except to a very few. Yet, as Leslie Feinberg discovered through years of research, gender "outlaws" are a part of our everyday lives. During lonely childhood and teenage years in Buffalo, NY, Feinberg began to search history for others like hir. What s/he found was a long tradition of fighting back against injustice—from Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake because she refused to stop dressing in traditional male garb, to cross-dressed warriors who fought in 19th-century Ireland and Wales.

Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com BiNet USA describes itself as "America's umbrella organization and voice for bisexual, pansexual, fluid and all other of us 'somewhere in between' people as well as their lesbian, gay, transgender, 'straight but not narrow' and questioning friends and allies." The organization works toward the development of a cohesive network of independent bisexual and bi- friendly communities and promotes bisexual, pansexual, and bi-inclusive visibility. It also collects and distributes educational information regarding sexual orientation and gender identity, especially information about and of interest to bisexual and pansexual communities. The oldest national bisexual organization in the United States, BiNet USA was spawned by a gathering of bisexual activists at the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1987. In 1990, the North American Bisexual Network, as it was then known, sponsored a national conference in San Francisco. In 1991, the organization changed its name to BiNet USA. The organization has an impressive online presence through its participation in most of the social networking venues and through its own website: www.binetusa.org. A number of online resources are highlighted on the site, which also provides lists of national and local bisexual and pansexual associations, as well as links to many glbtq media, legal, and activist groups and to such specifically bisexual educational and political resources as the Bisexual Resource Center, the American Institute of Bisexuality, and Bialogue, the website and blog of the New York Bisexual Network.
