Description
Trans-Exclusionary Feminisms and the Global New Right explores the growing alliance between anti-trans radical feminism and right-wing politics that rejects gender as a social construct. This phenomenon has gained significant international power, particularly in Latin America, Europe, and Russia, with its influence also felt in countries such as England, Canada, the US, and Australia.
The book examines the implications of this global trend for our understanding of transgender experience, science, medicine, and legal protections. Contributors consider topics including the emergence of TERF rhetoric in evangelical Christianity, the misappropriation of postcolonial thought in Europe, and the similarities between TERFism and Zionism.
