This stimulating entry in the “Big Idea” series assesses the connections between gender, psychology, culture, and sexuality, revealing how individual and social attitudes have evolved over the centuries. When we are born, we are each assigned a gender based on our physical anatomy. But why is it that some people experience dissonance between their biological sex and their personal identity? Is gender something we are, or something we do? Is our expression of gender a product of biology, or does it develop based on our environment? Are the traditional binary male and female gender roles relevant in an increasingly fluid and flexible world? Sally Hines, whose work on transgender issues draws on the intersections and disconnections of gender, sexuality, and their biological embodiment, is an ideally well-informed author to explore these questions. Supplementing this text are numerous illustrations that provide an accessible and informative visual component to the book. This intelligent volume in the Big Idea series considers the relations between gender, psychology, culture, and sexuality, examining the evolution of individual and social attitudes over the centuries and throughout the world.
Titel: Is Gender Fluid?

Sammendrag: Når vi bliver født, får vi tildelt et biologisk køn baseret på vores fysiske anatomi. Men hvorfor oplever nogle mennesker sådan en dissonans mellem deres biologiske køn og deres indre identitet? Er køn noget vi er, eller noget vi gør? Udvikler vores kønsudtryk sig eller er det medfødt? Traditionelle mandlige og kvindelige kønsroller ses i et stadigt mere flydende og fleksibelt samfund. Denne refleksive og stimulerende bog undersøger forbindelser mellem køn, psykologi, kultur og seksualitet og afslører, hvordan individuelle og sociale attituder har udviklet sig over århundreder.
