I really appreciate Serano's acknowledgment of actual biological difference and her lens of social exaggeration, rather than construction. I find her theory sections easy to read and quite relevant for all those looking to understand gender a little better, whether their concern is how trans individuals fit into the system or how misogyny and patriarchy influence the lives of everyone. An excellent book! ( )

How proud am I to know the author! Julia goes where few have dared to tread and deconstructs gender -- the source of so much prejudice and ignorance. Whether you're trans, cis or just want to see yourself and your own assumptions a little clearer -- this book will strip the shroud away and make you see yourself and the world around you a little more clearly. And it is so accessible to readers of all backgrounds and levels of comprehension. A wonderful book I am proud to have signed. ( )
