  <description><![CDATA[Perhaps more than any other issue, gender identity has galvanized the queer community in recent years. The questions go beyond the nature of male/female to a yet-to-be-traversed region that lies somewhere between and beyond biologically determined gender. In this groundbreaking anthology, three experts in gender studies and politics navigate around rigid, societally imposed concepts of two genders to discover and illuminate the limitless possibilities of identity. Thirty first-person accounts of gender construction, exploration, and questioning provide a groundwork for cultural discussion, political action, and even greater possibilities of autonomous gender choices.

    <![CDATA[Perhaps more than any other issue, gender identity has galvanized the queer community in recent years. The questions go beyond the nature of male/female to a yet-to-be-traversed region that lies somewhere between and beyond biologically determined gender. In this groundbreaking anthology, three experts in gender studies and politics navigate around rigid, societally imposed concepts of two genders to discover and illuminate the limitless possibilities of identity. Thirty first-person accounts of gender construction, exploration, and questioning provide a groundwork for cultural discussion, political action, and even greater possibilities of autonomous gender choices. Noted scholar <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Joan Nestle" title="Joan Nestle">Joan Nestle</a> is joined by internationally prominent gender warrior <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Riki Anne Wilchins" title="Riki Anne Wilchins">Riki Anne Wilchins</a> and historian <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Clare Howell" title="Clare Howell">Clare Howell</a> to provide a societal, cultural, and political exploration of gender identity.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Fantastic book that deconstructs gender and sex.  The personal stories in the second half give insight and put a human face on the oppression that transpeople, intersex indivduals, and others face from their own perspectives.  I don't mind saying that I cried the first two times I read Sylvia Rivera...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36005176">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Perhaps more than any other issue, gender identity has galvanized the queer community in recent years. The questions go beyond the nature of male/female to a yet-to-be-traversed region that lies somewhere between and beyond biologically determined gender. In this groundbreaking anthology, three experts in gender studies and politics navigate around rigid, societally imposed concepts of two genders to discover and illuminate the limitless possibilities of identity. Thirty first-person accounts of gender construction, exploration, and questioning provide a groundwork for cultural discussion, political action, and even greater possibilities of autonomous gender choices.

    <![CDATA[Perhaps more than any other issue, gender identity has galvanized the queer community in recent years. The questions go beyond the nature of male/female to a yet-to-be-traversed region that lies somewhere between and beyond biologically determined gender. In this groundbreaking anthology, three experts in gender studies and politics navigate around rigid, societally imposed concepts of two genders to discover and illuminate the limitless possibilities of identity. Thirty first-person accounts of gender construction, exploration, and questioning provide a groundwork for cultural discussion, political action, and even greater possibilities of autonomous gender choices. Noted scholar <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Joan Nestle" title="Joan Nestle">Joan Nestle</a> is joined by internationally prominent gender warrior <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Riki Anne Wilchins" title="Riki Anne Wilchins">Riki Anne Wilchins</a> and historian <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Clare Howell" title="Clare Howell">Clare Howell</a> to provide a societal, cultural, and political exploration of gender identity.]]>
