"Gender Outlaws takes the word gender and does to it what each new
generation does with its inheritance: take what was handed down,
sample and remix the hits of yesterday, and then reinvent and
reimagine itself into a new being that only occasionally looks like
its parents."--Ivan E. Coyote, writer and performer
"Bornstein, Bergman, and their rogue gallery of contributors
explore the human genderscape with wit and soul. Gender Outlaws is
required reading for anyone who has a sex or a gender... especially
if you already think you know everything you need to know about
them."--Hanne Blank, author of Big Big Love, Unruly Appetites, and
Virgin: The Untouched History
"Finally, a book that gathers together the voices of new
generations of gender outlaws! Edited by two trans-legends, this
book manages to be smart, sexy, and entertaining. Gender Outlaws
continues older conversations, starts new and often transnational
dialogues, and gives us new ways of thinking about and inhabiting
trans bodies, politics, and identities. Don't just read this book,
become it!"--Jack Halberstam, author of The Queer Art of Failure
