杰森·克伦威尔（Jason Cromwell）以内部人士和人类学家的身份撰写文章，首次深入探讨了女性跨性别者的意义。通过广泛的参与观察和开放式访谈，《跨性别者与男变性者》让女变男变性者为自己说话，揭示女性性别多样性中不符合男性和女性现成类别的方面。在澄清变性男和男变性者如何定义和验证他们的生活，而不是社会试图对他们进行归类和贬低时，克伦威尔展示了女变男变性者如何在男性主导的话语中几乎被忽视。他考虑了有关女性性别多样性的跨文化数据、女性身体的人曾以男性身份生活的历史证据，以及当代跨性别男性和 FTM。他还谈到了 FTM 和跨性别男性如何努力挑战跨性别精神疾病模式以及其他误解。 “Transmen and FTMs”试图重新构建关于性别认同的对话，并摆脱将固定性别类别视为规范的做法。通过将性别多样性从病理学的表现重新定义为人类状况，“跨性别者和 FTM”促进了对这些个体作为独立个体的更全面的理解。
Writing as an insider and an anthropologist, Jason Cromwell presents the first in-depth examination of what it means to be a female-bodied trans person. Through extensive participant observation and open-ended interviews, "Transmen and FTMs" allows female-to-male transsexuals to speak for themselves and reveal aspects of female gender diversity that do not fit into the ready-made categories of male and female.In clarifying how trans men and FTMs define and validate their lives, as opposed to how society attempts to pigeonhole and belittle them, Cromwell shows how female-to-male trans people have been made virtually invisible by male-dominated discourses. He considers cross-cultural data on female gender diversity, historical evidence of female-bodied people who have lived as men, and contemporary trans men and FTMs. He also addresses how FTMs and trans men are working to challenge the mental illness model of transness as well as other misconceptions. "Transmen and FTMs" seeks to reframe the dialogue about gender identity and move away from regarding fixed gender categories as normative. By redefining gender diversity from a manifestation of pathology to a human condition, "Transmen and FTMs" promotes a fuller understanding of these individuals as persons in their own right.
