Trans women are not an oppressed underclass petitioning for inclusion. They are a suppressed priest class, witnesses whose double vantage, having lived under the expectations placed on men and then crossed into the expectations placed on women, makes patriarchy's foundational dishonesty impossible to sustain in their presence.
Positive Transfeminism builds this argument from the ground up across three movements.
Our History traces the priest class across six thousand years and six largely independent traditions, the galli of Rome (with roots running back to Sumer), the hijra of the Indian subcontinent, two-spirit keepers across North America, the eunuchs of Byzantium, the bissu of Sulawesi, and the muxe of Oaxaca, alongside the 1933 destruction of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science, the lost archive that explains why a movement with this much ancestry so often speaks as though it began yesterday.
Our Enemies Destroyed takes on both flanks at once: Judith Butler, Eve Sedgwick, Gayle Rubin, and Lee Edelman are answered on queer theory's own terms, and the foundational gender-critical canon - Mary Daly, Janice Raymond, Sheila Jeffreys, Germaine Greer, Kathleen Stock, and Helen Joyce, is audited book by book, argument by argument, with each writer's own methodology turned back on her conclusions.
A Positive Transfeminism builds the constructive doctrine: self-overcoming in a Nietzschean register (without Nietzsche's own gendered vocabulary), a falsifiable criterion of persistence under strain, an honest reckoning with detransition, the compounding weight of transmisogynoir and gynandromorphophobia, documented violence read as testimony rather than mere loss, function-based policy proposals for sport, prisons, and shelters, Cuban health policy as a case study in capability over tolerance, and profiles of trans women, Lynn Conway, Wendy Carlos, Martine Rothblatt, Sophie Wilson, whose double vantage changed entire fields, under persecution and free alike.
Grounded in embodied history and biosocial testimony rather than queer theory's constructionism, argued in dense, aphoristic, unapologetically Nietzschean prose, this is a foundational text for a transfeminism that does not ask permission.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
