Explanation As Books Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation
In the 15 years since the release of Gender Outlaw, Kate Bornstein's groundbreaking challenge to gender ideology, transgender narratives have made their way from the margins to the mainstream and back again. Today's transgenders and other sex/gender radicals are writing a drastically new world into being. In Gender Outlaws, Bornstein, together with writer, raconteur, and theater artist S. Bear Bergman, collects and contextualizes the work of this generation's trans and genderqueer forward thinkers — new voices from the stage, on the streets, in the workplace, in the bedroom, and on the pages and websites of the world's most respected mainstream news sources. Gender Outlaws includes essays, commentary, comic art, and conversations from a diverse group of trans-spectrum people who live and believe in barrier-breaking lives.

Mind-bending--sometimes causing heartache because of the book's depiction of joy or violence, and sometimes because of its searing poetry. This should not be the first book you read about transgender and non-binary experiences. You should have explored other authors' biographies or sociological descriptions, more factual and more attuned to the common consensus, before taking a wild trip with this book. Imagine, for instance, a person identified as female at birth who comes out later asWhen Kate Bornstein wrote Gender Outlaws: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us, back in 1994, trans* issues were still a thing not many people talked about, unless they were, or knew, people who were trans. Bornstein's writing and advocacy was part of the reason this has changed. Now she has co-edited, with S. Bear Bergman, Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation, a collection of essays and personal narratives by people in and around the trans* community today. The editors have made selections
I was so excited to have a story included in this amazing collection!
I love anthologies because they're kind of like internet content - wide sample, varied voice and perspective, if you like something you can dig up more by the author, if you don't like something that's okay because it only lasts a few more pages. Kate Bornstein is obviously a saint whomst we stan, but I am growing to understand that her co-editor, S Bear Bergman is not someone with whose work I vibe endlessly. I have not yet read Gender Outlaw (Bornstein) which I imagine would frame this book a
Its always tough rating anthologies, but this one I can honestly say that I found every entry interesting and engaging. Obviously I enjoyed more than others and Id totally like to share a couple I thought were just awesome.Telyns Vegan CurryMade it today and it is awesome!The Big RevealI must of read this one at least 6 times before moving on. Sherilyn Connelly really knows how to tell a story. Id love to hear an audio telling of this from the author.She-Male RisingAnother entry that was SO
Brilliant reflections, which are of course mixed in with some pretty-good essays. Gender Outlaws is a hipper, queerer take on the heartfelt "gender is a spectrum" essays we've read in the New York Times... not just a discussion of gender complexity, but a joyful and thoughtful and angry and loving celebration of why gender diversity is so damn cool. It's easy to read in ten minute chunks, which is about the attention span I have available lately. Go ahead and skip the introduction and interludes
My rating is based on being a person who's in reading as a form of self-care. It's something I do for myself in my free time to help me relax and recharge. I have wrist tendinitis and it's aggravated by reading. I am doling out precious spoons here. So when I'm reading a collection of personal stories, it's not enough that the content be interesting or enlightening; I want to see great writing too. And it's not there. I'm reading through story after story and thinking "Okay, this person is
