My Gender Workbook
Link7/9/2008
I read Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of
Us some time ago and found it an exciting and stimulating book. Part
autobiography, part introduction to gender theory, and with a large
chunk of the text devoted to the script of her play Hidden: A Gender,
it is an amusing, honest, touching, passionate, challenging, wildly
speculative account of what it means to be transsexual. I had high
hopes, then, for My Gender Workbook. Hopes which were rather dashed
when I eventually got round to reading it earlier this year. I was
very disappointed and, unfortunately, it made me go back to Gender
Outlaw and re-assess that, too.
