This book provides groundbreaking analyses of the complex representations of trans and gender non-conforming identities in the French media. While providing a multifaceted look into the persistent challenges experienced by trans people within the centralizing space of the French Republic, the various contributors also show how increasingly diverse media representations of trans lives have spurred new public debates about a wide range of socio-cultural and political issues such as gender, sexuality, youth, family, nationality, migration, citizenship, and class in contemporary France.
