Gender Does Not Make a Parent
In 1981, shortly after doctors told Suzanne Daly that she was eligible to have sex reassignment surgery, she spoke to her eight-year-old daughter Mary about her transsexuality. Suzanne had a good relationship with her daughter and the child seemed to understand, after asking many questions, that her father would be happier living as a woman. Since Suzanne’s biggest concern was not how Mary would react, but instead how her ex-wife Nan would respond, she asked her daughter not to share the news of her upcoming operation with Nan so that she could later break the news herself.

Sex in Transition
Honorable Mention, 2013 Ruth Benedict Book Prize presented
by the Association for Queer Anthropology Honorable Mention, 2014
Distinguished Book Award presented by the Section on Sexualities of
the American Sociological Association Winner of the 2013 Sylvia
Rivera Award in Transgender Studies presented by the Center for Gay
and Lesbian Studies Sex in Transition explores
the lives of those who undermine the man/woman binary, exposing the
gendered contradictions of apartheid and the transition to
democracy in South Africa. In this context, gender liminality-a way
to describe spaces between common conceptions of \"man\" and
\"woman\"-is expressed by South Africans who identify as transgender,
transsexual, transvestite, intersex, lesbian, gay, and/or eschew
these categories altogether. This book is the first academic
exploration of challenges to the man/woman binary on the African
continent and brings together gender, queer, and postcolonial
studies to question the stability of sex. It examines issues
including why transsexuals' sex transitions were encouraged under
apartheid and illegal during the political transition to democracy
and how butch lesbians and drag queens in urban townships reshape
race and gender. Sex in Transition challenges the dominance of
theoretical frameworks based in the global North, drawing on
fifteen years of research in South Africa to define the parameters
of a new transnational transgender and sexuality studies.

On transits and transitions : trans migrants and U.S. immigration law
Celebrations of the \"transgender tipping point\" in the second decade of the twenty-first century occurred at the same time of heightened debates and anxieties about immigration in the United States. On Transits and Transitions explores what the increased visibility of trans people in the public sphere means for trans migrants and provides a counter-narrative to the dominant discourse that the inclusion of transgender issues in law and policy represents the progression of legal equality for trans communities. Focusing on the intersection of immigration and trans rights, Josephson presents a careful and innovative examination of the processes by which the category of transgender is produced through and incorporated into the key areas of asylum law, marriage and immigration law, and immigration detention policies. Using mobility as a critical lens, On Transits and Transitions captures the insecurity and precarity created by U.S. immigration control and related processes of racialization to show how im/mobility conditions citizenship and national belonging for trans migrants in the United States.
