Naked Gender Transient

Transgender and Intersex identities have long been portrayed as abstract phenomena, lacking a clear origin, purpose, or unified identity. Until now, no writer has dared to explore the key factors that affirm the humanity of a vast global community, often dismissed as nothing more than a marginal subculture. Drawing on a lifetime of study, Phaedra J. Kelly - social anthropologist, human rights troubleshooter, historian, archaeologist, and theologian - illuminates these vital, overlooked aspects. In this groundbreaking work, Kelly uncovers a hidden cultural identity, establishes a historical timeline, and reveals a five-thousand-year genocide. On behalf of the TG/IS nations within nations, Kelly presents a mindset that challenges much of what has recently been enacted in the name of TG, offering a perspective from a faction that, until now, had no clear voice of its own. Readers will be surprised, newly informed, and, for some, shamed.
