Becoming a Malaysian Trans ManGender, Society, Body and Faith /[electronic resource] :by Joseph N. Goh. - 1st ed. 2020. - XIII, 256 p. 1 illus.online resource. - Gender, Sexualities and Culture in Asia,2662-7884. - Gender, Sexualities and Culture in Asia,.

Prologue -- Engendering Identity -- Engaging with Society -- Grappling with Gender Dysphoria -- Embarking on Medical Transitioning -- Performing Faith -- Epilogue.

This book explores the fluid, mutable and contingent ways in which transgender men in Malaysia construct their subjectivities. Against the dearth of academic resources on Malaysian trans men, this ground-breaking monograph is rooted in the lived experiences of Malaysian trans men whose vicissitudes have mostly been hidden, silenced and overlooked. Comprising diverse age groups, ethnicities, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds and religious persuasions, these trans men reveal how they navigate life in a country with secular and religious laws that criminalise their embodiments, and the strategies they deploy to achieve self-determination and self-actualisation despite being perceived as aberrant and sinful. This book demonstrates how negotiations with constitutive elements such as gender identity, social interaction, citizenship, legality, bodily struggle, medical transitioning and personal spiritual validation condition the becomings of Malaysian trans men.
