Namaste argues that transgendered people are not so much <i>produced</i> by medicine or psychiatry as they are <i>erased</i>, or made invisible, in a variety of institutional and cultural settings. Namaste begins her work by analyzing two theoretical perspectives on transgendered people&#8212;queer theory and the social sciences&#8212;displaying how neither of these has adequately addressed the issues most relevant to sex change: everything from employment to health care to identity papers. Namaste then examines some of the rhetorical and semiotic inscriptions of transgendered figures in culture, including studies of early punk and glam rock subcultures, to illustrate how the effacement of transgendered people is organized in different cultural sites. <i>Invisible Lives</i> concludes with new research on some of the day-to-day concerns of transgendered people, offering case studies in violence, health care, gender identity clinics, and the law.</div> 350492 15 12 2000 Invisible Lives: The Erasure of Transsexual and Transgendered People total:20|5:3|4:11|3:4|2:2| 20 75 42 5 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 15 20:31:34 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 20:37:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon Sep 22 12:37:23 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 12:37:23 -0700 2008 2 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue May 27 05:09:47 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 09:01:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Mon Nov 10 13:03:36 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 13:03:36 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Jun 14 21:17:50 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 21:21:26 -0700 2008
