Historia de la Transexualidad

Each culture has expected from the person who is born biologically man, certain values, attitudes and ways of facing their own existence, which had to be fulfilled in order to be fully accepted in the community. However, everything that went (and still does) of these norms had to be cornered, annulled or corrected in the best of cases, as was the case with people who manifested a sexuality different from heteronormative patterns, or a divergence between biological sex and the one they felt they belonged to. The work in his hands includes for the first time a deep and rigorous analysis of transsexuality, including a historical journey that spans from Antiquity to the present day, with all the political and social changes that have been taking place, and also reels off the evolution of mentalities and the political and social struggle of homosexuals and transsexuals to claim their legitimate rights. This essential text also includes numerous testimonies of transsexual people that reveal in all its harshness the slow but inexorable change registered in our country, and even reference to the evolution that has occurred in other nations of our cultural sphere; All of these modifications will have a decisive influence on the adaptation of laws, social perception and the treatment that the media currently give to transsexuality. A book, in short, more than necessary, expression of an aspiration for justice.
