Description: "The authors have aimed to write a book that is accessible to a wide range of audiences beyond scholars of communication, gender studies, and reproductive justice. They write to, with, and for the queer people and parents whose reproductive experiences are often erased, eclipsed, or undermined in dominant discourse; reproductive justice activists and birthworkers who fiercely and tenderly advocate and care for marginalized birthing and pregnant people; and healthcare professionals who seek to provide more inclusive and gender-affirming care amidst deeply oppressive institutional structures"--
Brief description: Natalie Fixmer-Oraiz is the F. Wendell Miller Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa.
Review Quotes: Through their methodologically rich work, Yam and Fixmer-Oraiz encourage a critical and deeply intersectional reading of the pernicious impacts of the sex/gender binary on reproduction and the family.
