On one level, Gender Outlaw is an account of Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a fascinating and deeply provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, the myths attached to them, and the penalties that befall not only those who transgress the definitions but anyone who blindly conforms to them.
Told with humor, honesty, and outrageous flair, Gender Outlaw is the unique story of a transgendered woman who never stops questioning our central cultural assumptions. Whether she is describing the nuts and bolts of her sex-change surgery or outing the hidden gender messages in popular culture, Bornstein pushes us gently but profoundly to the farthest borders of the gender frontier. | | Langues : | Américain (ame) Langues originales : Américain (ame) | | Catégories : | Généralités et biographies:Souvenirs et témoignages personnels
