In \u003ci\u003eTerrorizing Gender \u003c\/i\u003eMia Fischer challenges this narrative of progress, bringing together transgender, queer, critical race, legal, surveillance, and media studies to analyze the cases of Chelsea Manning, CeCe McDonald, and Monica Jones. Tracing how media and state actors collude in the violent disciplining of these trans women, Fischer exposes the traps of visibility by illustrating that dominant representations of trans people as deceptive, deviant, and threatening are integral to justifying, normalizing, and reinforcing the state-sanctioned violence enacted against them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The heightened visibility of transgender people, Fischer argues, has actually occasioned a conservative backlash characterized by the increased surveillance of trans people by the security state, evident in debates over bathroom laws, the trans military ban, and the rescission of federal protections for transgender students and workers. \u003ci\u003eTerrorizing Gender\u003c\/i\u003e concludes that the current moment of trans visibility constitutes a contingent cultural and national belonging, given the gendered and racialized violence that the state continues to enact against trans communities, particularly those of color.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40809113944161,"sku":"9781496230539","price":25.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/318d8dbebc8d44177123b6fd91c4a2df.png?v=1682599290","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781496230539-terrorizing-gender","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
