false <![CDATA[Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172788244m/217305.jpg 217305 2 Although readers familiar with Feinberg's earlier books will not find much new material here, this collection of hir (this transgendered author's pronoun of choice) speeches, presented with a few essays by other transgendered writers, serves as a good introduction to Feinberg's ideas about the complexities of gender expression and to hir vision for a future "beyond pink or blue." As someone who faces oppression, incomprehension, and violence every day on the basis of hir appearance and the refusal to adhere to a rigid gender designation (Feinberg was once denied emergency medical treatment for endocarditis by a doctor who dismissed hir angrily as "a very troubled person"), Feinberg is in an excellent position to refute the shallow assumptions of the medical establishment and the mainstream media, as well as the more extreme views of the political and religious right. Most compelling are hir arguments on the importance of a broad-based multi-issue coalition among gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people, an alliance that could easily extend to other progressive groups. "Everyone who is under the gun of reaction and economic violence," Feinberg contends, "is a potential ally." <I>--Regina Marler</I> 806178 1998 Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue total:272|5:63|4:120|3:74|2:12|1:3| 272 1044 422 24 3 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Wed Jun 20 15:55:57 -0700 2007 Thu May 01 05:04:01 -0700 2008 Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue for the Winter 1999/Spring 2000 issue of The MSRRT Newsletter.

Feinberg manages to point out the flaws in the way so many of us think without making us feel inadequate or unkind.]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jan 28 17:07:04 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 17:11:17 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu May 15 17:55:29 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 16:49:06 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 13:49:49 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 11:12:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Apr 24 12:16:34 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 12:56:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Aug 22 21:58:12 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 22 21:59:15 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 20 23:08:25 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 23:09:58 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Aug 03 22:39:48 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 22:46:32 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Sat Feb 02 09:18:05 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 16:27:02 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Thu Jan 17 09:26:58 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 09:27:26 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=217305
