Respected: How One Word Can Change More Than Just Your Love Life By Akirah Robinson
2014 | 182 Pages | ISBN: 1505636620 | EPUB | 1 MB
When it comes to finding love, it seems like everyone has an opinion. Rather than joining the loud choir of love experts and dating gurus, Respected helps women bolster their sense of self-worth and as a result, become better prepared to participate in healthy romantic relationships. As a writer and breakup coach (yes, that's a real thing), Akirah Robinson has made it her life mission to remind women how brave their hearts are. As a survivor of partner abuse, she herself struggled to heal and believe that she might one day experience healthy love. After kissing dozens of frogs, Akirah realized a change needed to be made within herself before she'd likely find her prince. She took a break from trying to fill the void in her life with unkind men and made a commitment to intentionally love and care for herself first. In doing this, she came to realize that all women, herself included, deserve to be respected! "Respected" is Akirah's way of spreading this good news. With personal anecdotes, helpful tips, and thought-provoking questions, "Respected" is a book that helps women seek relationships that support their well-being by challenging them to first create healthy relationships with themselves. No one can predict when you'll meet the love of your life, but "Respected" just might inspire you to treat yourself with kindness and create a life of adventure until you do. If you are struggling in a relationship, healing from a breakup, or experiencing a long bout of singleness, read "Respected" as a reminder that regardless of how you feel, you deserve nothing less than the utmost respect--from yourself and others.
Resisting Biopolitics: Philosophical, Political, and Performative Strategies By S.E. Wilmer, Audronė Žukauskaitė
2016 | 319 Pages | ISBN: 1138499013 | PDF | 2 MB
The topic of biopolitics is a timely one, and it has become increasingly important for scholars to reconsider how life is objectified, mobilized, and otherwise bound up in politics. This cutting-edge volume discusses the philosophical, social, and political notions of biopolitics, as well as the ways in which biopower affects all aspects of our lives, including the relationships between the human and nonhuman, the concept of political subjectivity, and the connection between art, science, philosophy, and politics. In addition to tracing the evolving philosophical discourse around biopolitics, this collection researches and explores certain modes of resistance against biopolitical control. Written by leading experts in the field, the book's chapters investigate resistance across a wide range of areas: politics and biophilosophy, technology and vitalism, creativity and bioethics, and performance. Resisting Biopolitics is an important intervention in contemporary biopolitical theory, looking towards the future of this interdisciplinary field.

Out of the Ordinary: A Life of Gender and Spiritual Transitions By Michael Dillon / Lobzang Jivaka et al.
2017 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 082328039X | PDF | 4 MB
Now available for the first time-more than 50 years after it was written-is the memoir of Michael Dillon/Lobzang Jivaka (1915-62), the British doctor and Buddhist monastic novice chiefly known to scholars of sex, gender, and sexuality for his pioneering transition from female to male between 1939 and 1949, and for his groundbreaking 1946 book Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology. Here at last is Dillon/Jivaka's extraordinary life story told in his own words. Out of the Ordinary captures Dillon/Jivaka's various journeys-to Oxford, into medicine, across the world by ship-within the major narratives of his gender and religious journeys. Moving chronologically, Dillon/Jivaka begins with his childhood in Folkestone, England, where he was raised by his spinster aunts, and tells of his days at Oxford immersed in theology, classics, and rowing. He recounts his hormonal transition while working as an auto mechanic and fire watcher during World War II and his surgical transition under Sir Harold Gillies while Dillon himself attended medical school. He details his worldwide travel as a ship's surgeon in the British Merchant Navy with extensive commentary on his interactions with colonial and postcolonial subjects, followed by his "outing" by the British press while he was serving aboard The City of Bath. Out of the Ordinary is not only a salient record of an early sex transition but also a unique account of religious conversion in the mid-twentieth century. Dillon/Jivaka chronicles his gradual shift from Anglican Christianity to the esoteric spiritual systems of George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky to Theravada and finally Mahayana Buddhism. He concludes his memoir with the contested circumstances of his Buddhist monastic ordination in India and Tibet. Ultimately, while Dillon/Jivaka died before becoming a monk, his novice ordination was significant: It made him the first white European man to be ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Out of the Ordinary is a landmark publication that sets free a distinct voice from the history of the transgender movement.Michael Dillon/Lobzang Jivaka (1915-62) was an English physician, the first female-to-male post-operative transsexual, and a Buddhist monastic novice.Jacob Lau is a Carolina Postdoctoral Fellow through the Program for Faculty Diversity in the Women's and Gender Studies Department at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Cameron Partridge is an Episcopal priest, theologian, scholar of trans and religious studies, and an openly transgender man.
