Book Review: Coping with infertility, miscarriage, and neonatal loss: Finding perspective and creating meaning

Abstract

While the volume is explicitly multi-and transdisciplinary, it is certainly of interest and value to social work practitioners, educators, and scholars interested in trans analysis and troubling some of the categorical truisms evident in feminist social work practice and research. This collection presents trans as a site of transition and negotiation, a practice of engaging with transition and celebrating the flux of boundaries and expectations. From the extremely useful ''Note on Terms and Concepts'' through the 12 contributed chapters, the text demonstrates that terminology, identity, and theoretical positioning are constantly in transition and that trans analysis offers a perspective through which to complicate taken-for-granted expectations of gender, gendered performance, and gender identities.
