A: I saw that you wrote a book about transsexual CEO's.
AB: It wasn't just on transsexual CEO's but also on cross-dressing cops, hermaphrodites, and transgenders.
A: Wesleyan has such a culture of talking about gender-neutral and sexuality on campus.
AB: I don't actually know what gender-neutral means. I would say that there was no one I spoke to in the course of researching that book who wants a gender-neutral universe. But I think having people talk about gender and sexuality is good — and even better than talking about it is thinking about it.
