"This Collection marks a key contribution to work on trans identities and trans rights. Its global focus is long overdue in studies exploring the rights of trans people. It’s broad interdisciplinary remit addresses culture, identity, politics, rights and institutions, which are brought together successfully through the Collections’ focus on social justice. This is an important and very timely publication."
