ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a broad overview of scholarship on transgender men and trans masculinities. Challenging the cisgender and essentialist bias of men and masculinities studies, the research collected here illustrates that these understudied populations are a group of men and masculine people who provide critical insights for understanding of men and masculinities overall. In reviewing existing literature on trans masculine identities, sexualities, bodies, and relations to others, the chapter points to the continuing importance of employing intersectional analyses of gender, sexuality, race, and class along with expanding the scope of this scholarship across local and global contexts.
