Thoughtful, thought provoking (Rating 5 of 5)
» A. Drummond
A thoughtfully collected series of autobiographies from people who sit outside the basic gender binary. Intelligent; well balanced; moving: this book is an essential read for people exploring their own gendered identity as well as clinicians unfamiliar with transgender issues. In unpicking and deconstructing the basic heteronormative assumptions, this book will no doubt help to create the new discourses that are needed to move transgender into the main stream in the way that lesbian and gay issues had to in say the 1970's. Absolutely worth reading
