Dr. Holly Devor is professor of sociology at the University of Victoria, Canada. She specializes in the study of gender, sex, and sexuality in lesbian women, transgendered females, and female-to-male transsexuals. Her first book, Gender Blending: Confronting the Limits of Duality, in which she coined the phrase "Gender Blending", examined the social construction of gender in society and its implications for the lives of females whose gender presentations mixed masculinity, femininity, and other characteristics to the point that their gender was not always recognizable to observers.

Dr. Devor's second book, FTM: Female-to-Male Transsexuals in Society, provides a detailed, compassionate, intimate, and incisive portrait of the life experiences of 45 female-to-male transsexuals and suggests new theoretical frameworks for understanding the interplay of gender, sex, and sexuality. Her current research focuses on Reed Erickson , a transsexed man and founder of the Erickson Educational Foundation, who was instrumental in bringing issues of transgender and gay rights into public awareness. Dr. Devor is a renowned public lecturer and has made numerous appearances on television, radio and in print media. She is available for research, consultation, and educational work concerning female or male transgendered or transsexual persons.
