‘This important and timely book speaks to the gap in the literature concerning trans people and
embodiment. Recognizing Transsexuals is theoretically sharp, drawing on the recent insights concerning
gender and politics that have developed within the trans communities and elsewhere. It will be of interest to
anyone concerned with gender equality, bodily change, and gender diversity.’
– Surya Monro, University of Huddersfield, UK
‘Recognizing Transsexuals resonates with current personal, political and institutional shifts around gender
diversity in the UK, Europe and North America. Its focus on trans embodiment and bodily aesthetics fills
a gap in trans studies literature, and offers a distinctive voice to work on gender and the body. Davy fuses
the personal and political to provide important theoretical and empirical reflections on issues central to
“recognition” debates.’ – Sally Hines, University of Leeds, UK
