I've never read any of their books, but have been reading a lot of interviews and watching clips on youtube.
I think she would reject being put into our box, but it seems to me that she embodies an androgyne spirit. She is like an ever shifting kaleidoscope of behaviour, a chameleon, often shifting mode mid sentence. Gender transcendent. Plus she is really funny. I saw this clip of her talking about going to a speech therapist and how she was taught to use this uber exaggerated fem voice. I thought it was really funny but so personal at the same time, the sadness they felt and the wrongness of it.
What we do here I sometimes see as us trying to create a gendered niche for ourselves, a community of like people, to make sense of things. I think kate has a much wider net, aiming to include everyone and not worrying about the sense of it.
I personally don't think I could follow her path in the same way she goes about it, my personality is just not up to it. But I think from seeing her talk I feel like a certain message is slowly becoming part of my internal voice. It says behaviour is just behaviour, behaviour does not represent my gender, my behaviour represents me, I just am. She is one interesting person.
