Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

For many male to female transsexuals, “passing” is viewed by many as an end-all and be-all that ensures a life free of social ostracism or worse. At the same time, some authors have stated that efforts of transgender women to pass have a negative impact on all women by reinforcing gender stereotypes. The issue of “passing” has been researched and published in many academic disciplines. Using a transfeminist perspective, and building on qualitative research findings presented at the 2009 NWSA conference, this quantitative research presentation will detail how transgender women view, define, and negotiate the issue of passing. The researcher, who is herself a transsexual, uses a transfeminist point of view in her research.
