Care Without Pathology How Trans- Health Activists Are Changing Medicine

"A bold ethnography of twenty-first century trans health care movements in New York City and Buenos Aires, Care without Pathology untangles the thicket of political distortion to reveal the urgency and innovation of championing trans health care as a public good and a social need. A vital book for grasping a revolutionary movement that propagates access to care and justice."-Nayan Shah, University of Southern California

"Demonstrating how grassroots movements are disrupting social and biomedical power structures, [Care without Pathology] is an essential contribution to research on depathologisation efforts in trans care."-LSE Reviews

"A theory-laden but horizon-expanding work of qualitative research, Care Without Pathology will be most useful to scholars in sociology, anthropology, and gender, sexuality, and women's studies. Students studying political and health sciences and interested in working with marginalized populations are another potential audience for this work."-CHOICE

"Hanssmann's work offers a compelling critique of existing healthcare systems and advocates for a transformative approach to care that moves beyond pathologization."-H-Net Reviews

"Care Without Pathology contributes profound empirical and theoretical insights about social movements, human rights, health policy, bioethics, global transgender health, and the social construction of biomedicine in and beyond the United States."-American Journal of Sociology
