Susan Stryker's sweeping, intersectional account charts more than a century of history, showing how rising acceptance in the 1960s and 2010s was met with waves of bigotry and intolerance that began in the '70s and continue today. Through her explanation of central concepts and terms, informative sidebars, and brief biographies of trans pioneers, Stryker reminds readers of one crucial truth: Transgender people have always been here. In good times and bad, they've built supportive and expansive communities, battled for freedom, and transformed American culture and society in the process. Now completely revised and updated, including a longer, global history and a timely chronicle of the latest wave of anti-trans backlash, Transgender History remains both a vital resource and a powerful testament to the enduring legacy of trans lives"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2945054</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2945054</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stryker, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2945054138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Resource for Today&apos;s Struggle - and Tomorrow&apos;s</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541605886/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1522714401</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trans Bodies, Trans Selves]]></title><description><![CDATA["What does it mean to be trans?

However, many see the idea of being trans as more complicated -- as an active process of challenging the formal structures that govern how gender is defined.

Everyone who lives near the lake knows the stories about the world underneath it, an ethereal landscape rumored to be half-air, half-water. But Bastián Silvano and Lore Garcia are the only ones who've been there. Bastián grew up both above the lake and in the otherworldly space beneath it. Lore's only seen the world under the lake once, but that one encounter changed their life and their fate. Then the lines between air and water begin to blur. The world under the lake drifts above the surface. If Bastián and Lore don't want it bringing their secrets to the surface with it, they have to stop it, and to do that, they have to work together. There's just one problem: Bastián and Lore haven't spoken in seven years, and working together means trusting each other with the very things they're trying to hide." -- Publisher marketing.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2656928</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2656928</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McLemore, Anna-Marie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2656928138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250624147/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1300757522</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Moon Was Ours]]></title><description><![CDATA["To everyone who knows them, best friends Miel and Sam are as strange as they are inseparable.

Michelle Handelman's provocative and pioneering documentary captures these queer outlaws in their zeitgeist moment, shot on digital video with an unfiltered rawness that mirrors the activism of the era. From pushy bottoms to macho femmes, it immerses the viewer in the San Francisco leather dyke scene, shattering assumptions about gender and lesbian sexuality, while broadening the discussion about personal expressions of eroticism and their political implications. In the '90s, it was attacked in congress by the American Family Association for its depictions of radical lesbian sexuality. Twenty-five years later, the film has become recognized as a treasured historical document of a movement that tore down barriers of sex, gender, and activism." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2621552</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2621552</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2621552138</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle>Leather, Dykes &amp; Sadomasochism</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1251689156&amp;upc=738329254469</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to They/them]]></title><description><![CDATA["Ever wonder what "nonbinary" or "gender nonconforming" really means?

As Leo's encounters become more and more steamy, Laura's divergent identities collapse with real-world consequences."--Publisher description.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2939656</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2939656</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bongiovanni, Archie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2939656138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419770876/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1537890942</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death of the First Idea]]></title><description><![CDATA["From Whiting Award-winner Rickey Laurentiis, a mythic, lyric, decade-in-the-making new collection of masterful poems that probe the meanings of trans/formation and re-creation, a new classic about gender and love. When Rickey Laurentiis debuted in 2015 with Boy With Thorn, the poetry world heralded the arrival of an astonishing new lyric talent. "Call Rickey Laurentiis' stylistic range virtuosity or call it correctly, necessity," Terrance Hayes wrote. In the past decade, as Laurentiis has transitioned, her ideas of the lyric and poetry have transformed, as has the America in which she lived. This staggering, irreverent, gentle and erotic book is a record of that ten-year journey. It draws on, expands, and then fractures the many poetic traditions which informed Laurentiis' poetics-from Greek odes and early Black Spirituals to the work of Whitman and Dickinson and the midcentury cinematic icon, The Lady Chablis. Then, brick by brick, she builds them anew and makes them her own. She maps a path onto the contradictions, precarity, and revelry of her hometown, "New Orleans / As that modern text, witnessed, and revised, by the light as radically / As by the water, which is history, which slip / Thru your hands. This city is a ghost for hire." With this as her frame, Laurentiis meditates on what it means to be trans and Black in this nation and in her own body, when both demarcations are often excuses for violence. She goes further, examining pleasure and deep-felt pain, in a rhythmic, wild embrace of life, an act of spirit work and self-grace"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2936462</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2936462</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Laurentiis, Rickey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2936462138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593802700/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1467888900</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects]]></title><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2808734</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2808734</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2808734138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9783777441085/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1372394423</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Melissa]]></title><description><![CDATA["When people look at George, they think they see a boy.
