In Transgender Marxism, Jordy Rosenberg offers a groundbreaking analysis of the ways in which transgender people experience and resist oppression under capitalism. Drawing on insights from Marxism, queer theory, and transgender studies, Rosenberg argues that transgender people are uniquely positioned to challenge the gender binary and the capitalist system that relies on it.

Chapter 1: Gender and Capitalism

Rosenberg begins by exploring the relationship between gender and capitalism. He argues that capitalism relies on a binary gender system to divide and control workers. This system assigns people to either the male or female category, and then uses this assignment to justify different forms of oppression. Transgender people, who challenge the gender binary, pose a threat to this system.

Chapter 2: Transgender Subjectivity

Rosenberg then turns to the question of transgender subjectivity. He argues that transgender people experience a unique form of subjectivity that is not reducible to either male or female. This subjectivity is shaped by the ways in which transgender people are marginalized and excluded from society.

Chapter 3: Transgender Resistance

In the final chapter, Rosenberg examines the ways in which transgender people resist oppression. He argues that transgender resistance is a revolutionary act that has the potential to transform society. Transgender people are not only fighting for their own liberation, but also for the liberation of all oppressed people.

Transgender Marxism is a powerful and provocative book that offers a new perspective on the relationship between gender, class, and the state. Rosenberg's analysis is theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded, and his writing is clear and accessible. Transgender Marxism is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of gender, class, and oppression.
