"Trans is not mean to anybody. Queering up your sexuality isn't mean to anybody."


Kate Bornstein is a historic figure in the queer and trans community, whose work as an artist in the service of activism spans many decades. From books like Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us to My Gender Workbook to Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks and Other Outlaws their work is considered to be the basis for much of the discipline of gender theory as it is known today and for aiding numerous queer and trans people in the process of learning to live as their authentic selves.

Warning: contains language some may find offensive, but an interesting read on a transgender pioneer.
