Trans people are becoming a more visible and vocal community within the United States and around the globe. Sociology must grapple with how to better think and talk about gender outside of normative understandings of men and women. This book offers an interruption to the dominant cisgender worldview that is characteristic of sociology as a discipline. It serves as a primer for all sociologists from undergraduates to career faculty.

America through Transgender Eyes offers important and incisive insights into the lived experiences of transgender people. This book maps how transgender people experience cisgendering reality and how cisgendering reality shapes gender relations and dominant structures. The book also teaches students how gender operates in US society, and the consequences of these gendered processes for everyone.
