This is the anthology I've been waiting for: one that brings Deleuze and Guattari's scattered, elliptical references to transsexuality and non-binary gender into robust engagement with the field of trans studies that has grown up after their deaths. Both Deleuzoguattarian and trans studies will be enriched by this provocative encounter.
