Riki Anne Wilchins

    Riki Wilchins is an activist whose work has focused on the impact of gender norms. While starting as a transgender leader, their analysis and work broadened to encompass discrimination and violence regardless of individual identity. Wilchins' writing often centers on youth, whom they view as uniquely vulnerable to societal pressures yet capable of offering fresh perspectives. Their efforts have been instrumental in integrating transgender rights into the broader LGBT movement and raising wider public awareness of gender norms' effects.

    • Klar und präzise führt die Aktivistin Riki Wilchins in die Grundlagen der Geschlechtertheorie ein. Anhand konkreter Beispiele aus der Praxis und eigener Erfahrung erklärt sie auf sehr verständliche Art und Weise die Gedanken großer Philosophen wie Derrida, Foucault und Butler. Dabei gelingt es ihr, die Debatte um Geschlechts(de)konstruktion aus einem rein universitären Umfeld zu lösen und als Teil unseres Alltags begreiflich zu machen. Ein hochaktuelles Buch, bestens geeignet als Einführung in das Thema Geschlechtsidentität!
