Description
Male Bodies, Women’s Souls: Personal Narratives of Thailand’s Transgendered Youth provides an insightful look at the Thai sex/gender system, focusing on the stories of transgendered youth in Thailand. Using the narrative method, the book presents personal life histories, told in the words of "sao braphet song" (a term for males who reject masculinity for femininity), offering an authentic and rich perspective on gendered subjectivity.
The book analyzes these narratives to explore common themes such as identity, definitions, acceptance, and the motivations behind the participants' involvement in the project. It provides valuable knowledge on transgenderism in Thailand, while offering a comparative framework for understanding transgender experiences in other cultural contexts.
This book is an essential read for educators, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of transgender identities within a specific cultural framework.
