Transgender Youth Are Under Attack
This is a terrifying time to be LGBTQ in America. In the first 2023 legislative session alone, Republican lawmakers introduced more than 100 new bills specifically targeting transgender youth. If you look, you'll see medical and psychiatric governing boards, major human rights organizations, policymakers, researchers like myself, and parent activists scrambling to speak back in what has become an impossible rhetorical landscape. The single most p…
Trans Kids
Being Gendered in the Twenty-First Century (2018, University of California Press), is a refreshingly ambitious work of sociological research on gender. Trans Kids aims to elucidate the emergence of transgender children as a social category in the twenty-first century. Its title boldly further implies that gender, as a whole, may operate differently in the future than it has in the past. A general sociological audience may be tempted to overlook a…
Trans Kids
In the first comprehensive academic treatment of the emerging social, medical, and psychological category of the transgender child, ethnographer Tey Meadow introduces readers to a generation of parents who actively facilitate gender nonconformity in their children. Whereas previous generations of parents sent such children for psychiatric treatment aimed at a cure, these families call their children new names, allow them to wear whatever clothing…

Whose chosenness counts? The always-already racialized discourse of trans – response to Rogers Brubaker
The Jenner/Dolezal moment, while it appears to provide a neat comparative experiment in gender and racial classifications, is itself the artefact of an invisible, already racialized gender system. If we take this question at the heart of Rogers Brubaker's provocative new book on its own terms, we find, like Brubaker, that very different rules, and indeed, different institutional architectures, govern the two categorical systems. Closer inspection…

New Slants on the Slippery Slope
This article investigates the often cited and dismissed, but rarely examined, relationship between legalizing same-sex marriage and polygamy. Employing a comparative historical analysis of U.S. and South African jurisprudence, ideology, and cultural politics, we examine efforts to expand, restrict, and regulate the gender and number of legally recognized conjugal bonds. South African family jurisprudence grants legal recognition to both same-sex …
Families
This article examines the emergence of "virtual social science," a mode of inquiry and advocacy that uses social science research to advance particular political agendas, often related to family values. Focusing on the debates surrounding same-sex marriage, Meadow and Stacey argue that virtual social science selectively presents data and simplifies complex issues to promote specific moral and political viewpoints. They critique the use of such ta…
