read this for book club. interesting conflicts with how julia serano defines gender -- i.e., bornstein sees gender as performance and gender roles as needing destruction, where serano sees gender as not quite essential, but certainly more intrinsic than a gender-as-performance theory would allow for. the way bornstein merges the personal and the theoretical is pretty great, and i love the way she moves between two voices.
Kate is one of my all time favorite people in the world. I met her when I lived in New York (she even wrote in my journal) Such an inspiring, funny, beautiful woman. Read anything and everyhting by her!!!
A great beginner book to postmodern analyses of gender identity through easy, fun-to-read personal accounts of exploring what gender really is.
awesome!
