Ok, I've been thinking about a book for a while.  I want to get down some of the topics I want to talk about.  This list will be a work in progress.  Feel free to comment and add topics to the list.

  • Gender Identity
  • Gender as a social construct
  • Separating gender and sex
  • The three levels of identity - Ascribed, Disclosed, and Self
  • Gender Policing
  • The case against "Deep Stealth"
  • Family
  • Religion / Spirituality
  • Voice
  • Relationships: both romantic and platonic
  • Gender paint theory
  • Gender binary vs Gender spectrum vs Gender Continuum
  • Eonism (i.e. the movement that looks at gender binary as a detriment to all human beings)
  • A look at the evolution of gender throughout history
  • Employment
  • "Passing"
  • Hair and the removal thereof
  • the Transgender Age gap (i.e. those that transition at age 20 vs age 40 or 50)
  • Choice (i.e. does one choose their gender identity)
  • Sexuality and transgender
  • Sex organs and the taboo of genital modification
  • Surgery
  • Competition
  • Body image and transgender
  • The prevalence of nerds in the trans community
  • "Post-Transsexual" as an unhealthy identity / Transsexual shame

OK...that's all I can think of for now.  More as thoughts develop.
