Transcending: Trans Buddhist voices

Manders, K., & Marston, E. (Hrsg.). (2019). Transcending: Trans Buddhist voices. North Atlantic Books.
Buch bei QueerBooks | eBook bei QueerBooks

Transcending brings together more than thirty contributors from both the Mahayana and Theravada traditions to present a vision for a truly inclusive trans Buddhist sangha in the twenty-first century. Shining a light on a new generation of Buddhist role models, this book gives voice to those who have long been marginalized within the Buddhist world and society at large. While trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary practitioners have experienced empowerment and healing through their commitment to the Buddha, dharma, and sangha, they also share their experiences of isolation, transphobia, and aggression.

Transgender Spirituality: Man into Goddess

Bhava, Sakhi (2012). Transgender Spirituality: Man into Goddess. Self-published book.
Buch bei QueerBooks

This book presents a historical survey of male transgenderism in spiritual life – including biographies of well-known figures who used their crossed-sex identification as vehicles for worship and self-discovery. It also discusses ways for the transgender male to turn his yearning for sexual transformation into a powerful tool for spiritual transformation – to turn what may be seen by some as a curse or abnormality into a blessing.

Tritiya-Prakriti: People of the Third Sex

Wilhelm, Amara Das (2010). Tritiya-Prakriti: people of the third sex: understanding homosexuality, transgender identity, and intersex conditions through Hinduism. Philadelphia, Pa: Xlibris.
Buch bei QueerBooks  |  eBook bei QueerBooks

Based entirely upon authentic Sanskrit references and modern concurring facts, the book guides us through the original Hindu concept of a «third sex» (defined as homosexuals, transgenders and the intersexed), how such people were constructively incorporated into ancient Indian society, and how foreign influences eventually eroded away that noble system. It discusses how this concept can be practically applied in today’s modern world, the importance of all-inclusiveness in human society, and the spiritual principle of learning to transcend material designations altogether.
