Unbound: Transgender Men and the Remaking of Identity by Arlene Stein

1.0

I've read a lot of books about the trans masculine experience and I'm trans masculine myself. Despite the author's intention to be unbiased, she comes across as intensely voyeuristic and seems to focus on what trans men's existence means for HER (a cis lesbian).

The population she sampled from is also predominantely middle class and white, neither of which are dominant groups within the community.

If you're looking to be more informed, this book doesn't offer any new information or new arguments. It's more so a regurgitation of existing literature, seemingly intended for cisgender consumption.
