| The book offers a detailed look at the Thai sex/gender system through analysis of the personal stories from transgendered youth. The Thai term "sao braphet song" (a "second type of woman") describes males who reject the gender of masculinity for femininity. The book uses the narrative method, stories in the words of these "second type of women" to analyze these transgendered experiences. This previously ignored perspective of the Thai sex/gender system offers readers a rich foundation of knowledge about gendered subjectivity and sex/gender systems. It features in-depth, autobiographical life histories from individual Thai transgendered youth. Life stories, told in the participants own words, provides an insightful look at Thai cultures sex/gender system. The authors then analyze the narratives to illuminate common themes and constructions within this group, allowing an opportunity for contrast and discussion on transgender experiences in other nations.
