Transforming Gender, Sex, and Place by Lynda Johnston explores the often overlooked connection between transgender, gender variant, and intersex individuals and the concept of place. Utilising a trans, feminist and queer geographical framework, this book invites readers to delve into the complex relationships between transgender people, spaces, and places.

This book addresses significant questions, such as how place and space are transformed by gender variant bodies and vice versa. It explores where gender variant individuals may feel in or out of place and examines the implications when binary gender norms are unravelled and subverted. Through interviews and community action, the book uncovers the diverse politics of gender variant embodied experiences, showcasing that gendered bodies are constructed through various social, cultural, and economic networks. The narrative is enriched with firsthand stories and international examples illustrating how transgender people use practices and strategies to create and contest different places, including bodies, homes, bathrooms, activist spaces, workplaces, urban night spaces, nations, and transnational borders.

Arguing the inextricable link between bodies, gender, sex, and space, Transforming Gender, Sex, and Place integrates contemporary scholarly debates, original empirical material, and popular culture to examine bodies and spaces that both revolve around and resist binary gender. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying Geography, Gender, and Sexuality.
