"Who needs it?" America's most active transgender activist questioned. Now, in <i>My Gender Workbook</i>, Bornstein has assembled a collage of simple exercises, quizzes, puzzles, and essay questions that systematically break down our ingrained ideas about how women and men--and whoever is in between--should act. Bornstein's breezy, "hey, let's all discover who we might really be" style works to make this potentially threatening material accessible and even intriguing to almost all readers.

An excellent introduction to playing with and questioning gender--fun and interactive, not dry and dull as much other theory is (looking at you, Butler).
