Scholars have long examined what it means to be transgender in a cisgender society, how transgender people experience everyday life and violence, and how transgender people make sense of and cope with that violence. However, to understand what causes anti-trans violence, it is necessary to turn to those most likely to perpetrate it: cisgender people. \u003cbr\u003eThrough extensive interviews and focus groups with cisgender-heterosexual men and cisgender-lesbian, bisexual, and queer women, \u003ci\u003eThinking Cis\u003c\/i\u003e examines how cisgender people make sense of gender, attractions to transgender women, and the murders of Black trans women. It also analyzes how the social construction of cisness shapes how we think about race, gender, sexuality and who we consider worthy of living. alithia zamantakis pushes readers to rethink prominent understandings of anti-trans violence and in doing so, argues that it is not simply transphobia that gives rise to murders of trans women but a fear and hatred for what it means to love and desire transgender women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ealithia zamantakis, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e is a sociologist and health scientist at Northwestern University's Institute of Sexual \u0026amp; Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing.
