Transgender Rights: From Obama to Trump by Susan Gluck Mezey, is an
expertly argued, thorough, and systematic analysis of the
development and constraints of transgender rights in four domains:
the workplace, schools, public facilities, and the Armed
Services.Law and Politics Book ReviewThis book offers a fascinating
presentation of the important recognition of the rights of trans
people to dignity and equality—and the enormous threats they face
in the current administration. Lorie Chaiten, former Director of
the Women's and Reproductive Rights Project of the ACLU of
IllinoisThis is an excellent, and much-needed, book. It contrasts
the actions of the Obama and Trump administrations, diametrically
opposed to each other with respect to the rights of transgender
individuals. With thorough research and clear writing, this book
will certainly appeal to those with professional or personal
interests regarding transgender people. This text should also
appeal to those who have scholarly interests related to executive
policymaking, as Professor Mezey’s book illustrates the
possibilities, and the limits, of policymaking that occurs outside
the halls of Congress.Barry Tadlock, Department of Political
Science, Ohio UniversitySusan Mezey has again delivered a
magisterial survey of the fight for LGBTQ rights in our nation's
courts with a sweeping, up-to-date analysis of the legal battles
waged by transgender people in states and localities and before
federal tribunals. Patrick Egan, Department of Politics, New York
UniversityRecommended. All readership levels.CHOICE
