"This updated edition of Bornstein's formative My Gender Workbook
(1997) provides an invigorating introduction to contemporary theory
around gender, sexuality, and power. The original is a classic of
modern transgender theory and literature and, alongside Bornstein's
other work, has influenced an entire generation of trans writers
and artists. This revised and expanded edition extends that legacy,
offering an accessible foundation for examining gender in the
reader's life and in the broader culture while arguing for the
dismantling of all forms of oppression. For fans of the original,
Bornstein's new material merits a fresh read..."--Publishers
Weekly, starred review Cultural theorists have written loads of
smart but difficult-to-fathom texts on gender theory, but most fail
to provide a hands-on, accessible guide for those trying to sort
out their own sexual identities. In My Gender Workbook, transgender
activist Kate Bornstein brings theory down to Earth and provides a
practical approach to living with or without a gender. Bornstein
starts from the premise that there are not just two genders
performed in today's world, but countless genders lumped under the
two-gender framework. Using a unique, deceptively simple and always
entertaining workbook format, complete with quizzes, exercises, and
puzzles, Bornstein gently but firmly guides readers toward
discovering their own unique gender identity. Since its first
publication in 1997, My Gender Workbook has been challenging,
encouraging, questioning, and helping those trying to figure out
how to become a "real man," a "real woman," or "something else
entirely." In this exciting new edition of her classic text,
Bornstein re-examines gender in light of issues like race, class,
sexuality, and language. With new quizzes, new puzzles, new
exercises, and plenty of Kate's playful and provocative style, My
New Gender Workbook promises to help a new generation create their
own unique place on the gender spectrum.
