Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Out of the Ordinary: A Life of Gender and Spiritual Transitions. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Now available for the first time-more than 50 years after it was written-is the memoir of Michael Dillon/Lobzang Jivaka (1915-62), the British doctor and Buddhist monastic novice chiefly known to scholars of sex, gender, and sexuality for his pioneering transition from female to male between 1939 and 1949, and for his groundbreaking 1946 book Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology. Here at last is Dillon/Jivaka's extraordinary life story told in his own words. Out of the Ordinary captures Dillon/Jivaka's various journeys-to Oxford, into medicine, across the world by ship-within the major narratives of his gender and religious journeys. Moving chronologically, Dillon/Jivaka begins with his childhood in Folkestone, England, where he was raised by his spinster aunts, and tells of his days at Oxford immersed in theology, classics, and rowing. He recounts his hormonal transition while working as an auto mechanic and fire watcher during World War II and his surgical transition under Sir Harold Gillies while Dillon himself attended medical school. He details his worldwide travel as a ship's surgeon in the British Merchant Navy with extensive commentary on his interactions with colonial and postcolonial subjects, followed by his "outing" by the British press while he was serving aboard The City of Bath. Out of the Ordinary is not only a salient record of an early sex transition but also a unique account of religious conversion in the mid-twentieth century. Dillon/Jivaka chronicles his gradual shift from Anglican Christianity to the esoteric spiritual systems of George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky to Theravada and finally Mahayana Buddhism. He concludes his memoir with the contested circumstances of his Buddhist monastic ordination in India and Tibet. Ultimately, while Dillon/Jivaka died before becoming a monk, his novice ordination was significant: It made him the first white European man to be ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Out of the Ordinary is a landmark publication that sets free a distinct voice from the history of the transgender movement.…

Condizione: As New. : Disponible por primera vez, más de 50 años después de su escritura, la autobiografía de Michael Dillon/Lobzang Jivaka (1915-62), el médico británico y novicio monástico budista conocido principalmente por los estudiosos del sexo, el género y la sexualidad por su transición pionera de mujer a hombre entre 1939 y 1949, y por su innovador libro de 1946 Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology. Aquí por fin está la extraordinaria historia de la vida de Dillon/Jivaka contada con sus propias palabras.Out of the Ordinary captura los diversos viajes de Dillon/Jivaka (a Oxford, a la medicina, a través del mundo en barco) dentro de las principales narrativas de sus viajes de género y religiosos. Dillon/Jivaka comienza cronológicamente con su infancia en Folkestone, Inglaterra, donde fue criado por sus tías solteronas, y cuenta sus días en Oxford inmerso en la teología, los clásicos y el remo. Relata su transición hormonal mientras trabajaba como mecánico de automóviles y vigilante de incendios durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y su transición quirúrgica bajo Sir Harold Gillies mientras el propio Dillon asistía a la escuela de medicina. Detalla sus viajes por todo el mundo como cirujano de barco en la Marina Mercante Británica con extensos comentarios sobre sus interacciones con súbditos coloniales y postcoloniales, seguido de su "salida del armario" por la prensa británica mientras servía a bordo del The City of Bath.Out of the Ordinary no es sólo un registro destacado de una transición sexual temprana, sino también un relato único de la conversión religiosa a mediados del siglo XX. Dillon/Jivaka narra su cambio gradual del cristianismo anglicano a los sistemas espirituales esotéricos de George Gurdjieff y Peter Ouspensky al budismo Theravada y finalmente Mahayana. Concluye sus memorias con las controvertidas circunstancias de su ordenación monástica budista en la India y el Tíbet. En última instancia, aunque Dillon/Jivaka murió antes de convertirse en monje, su ordenación como novicio fue significativa: le convirtió en el primer hombre blanco europeo en ser ordenado en la tradición budista tibetana.Out of the Ordinary es una publicación histórica que libera una voz distinta de la historia del movimiento transgénero.
