Yes. It's definitely an academic book, and I bought it in order to learn more about "critical phenomenology" as well as transphobia. I find Salamon's explanations and definitions of phenomenology clearer and more useful than Sara Ahmed's or Judith Butler's. Throughout the book Salamon writes with deep compassion for Latisha King, and shows how Brandon's murderous act was the most extreme expression of school-wide dislike and disgust at her gender-nonconformity and effeminacy.
