The article discusses the term transgender which is one of the latest in a series of terms in the social sciences to name counter-normative materializtions of gender on individual bodies through the practice of gender-crossing either it matters on dress and presentation, or in terms of body modification. The author points out that since the work of Harold Garfinkel, the study of transsexual experiences has become a kind of royal road for the theorization of gender as performance by sociologists espousing a version of what would gradually become identifiable as social constructionism.

In addition, he provides information about the social and medical aspects of the transition process for the FTM person, and a discussion of the interpersonal and ethical issues confronting the transman, his family members, and the therapist who seeks to help them all. He includes a discussion of the contrast between the treatment of transgender children and that of intersex children.
