Overview

A brave exploration of detransition, feminist theory, and the hidden costs of transgender medicine.

In Detransition: Beyond Before and After, Max Robinson challenges conventional narratives surrounding transgenderism and offers a critical perspective on the medical interventions involved. Drawing upon radical and lesbian feminist ideas, Robinson provokes a much-needed conversation about who truly benefits from transgender medicine and who bears its often-unseen burdens. This far-reaching discussion of women’s struggles to survive under patriarchy is for readers interested in:

Feminist theory and gender studies
Social issues and identity politics
The ethics of medical transition

Author Biography

Max Robinson became involved with lesbian feminism in an effort to make sense of her experiences with medical transition. She found it accomplished that and then some! Max provides direct support services for developmentally disabled women. She lives in southern Oregon with her partner Kitty and their dogs, cats, and captive-bred opae ula shrimp. Her other work includes a book of collages, Why Is This Woman Smiling?, first person dog poetry, Laika, and lots of little tiny sculptures.
