http://www.afterellen.com/people/2010/09/gender-outlaw-the-next-generation-gives-us-an-updatePublished in 1994, Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw was a revelation. She was shockingly candid about being a transsexual lesbian and dating a woman who had begun to transition into manhood. This was groundbreaking stuff in the mid '90s.
Now in 2010, we may see pregnant men on Oprah, but trans and genderqueer identities are still a boundary-pushing subject. Nowhere is this more apparent than the continually forward thinking revamped Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation, released this month by Seal Press. But this is not merely an update. Edited by the original outlaw along with co-editor S. Bear Bergman, GO:TNG is an anthology of 50 varied artists and writers, each with a strong and socially edgy voice.
