Özet

"I know I'm not a man...and I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably not a woman, either.... The trouble is, we're living in a world that insists we be one or the other."

With these words, Kate Bornstein ushers listeners on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. On one level, Gender Outlaw details 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 provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.

Gender Outlaw was decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994. Now, some 20-odd years later, this book stands as both a classic and a still-revolutionary work - one that continues to push us gently but profoundly to the furthest borders of the gender frontier.

Kate delivers a wonderful exploration of gender and its nuances. At times entertaining, soulful, painful and beautiful, there is never a dull moment. I found Kate to be an incredibly charismatic writer and narrator, her wit and charm manifesting in the way she sees the world and the people she includes in a conversation about gender, without the binary. The updated version brings modern influences and influencers, a valuable addition.

A delightful discussion of gender and joy

She raises some good points and interesting opinions, but there are times when she gets very close to things that terfs would say, and, no offence intended but it does start to yet quite babbly and repetitive. I ended up leaving it on in the background just to get through it (it's relatively long). If you're a fan of Kate's work then you'll probably enjoy it more, but I had never heard of her before and was more interested in what she had to say about gender, which could probably have been summed up in one or two chapters! x) Including readings of some plays towards the end was a really nice addition, although with the audiobook version it was difficult to follow which bits were lines of the play and which were her added commentary. If you get bored, you could skip to these!

Goes on a bit

the book is great, provides a fantastic and authentic insight into the life of a trans person and explains the meanders of gender in a simple and clear way.

the recording has extremely uneven volume levels. I understand whisper is used for specific purpose to narrate the story and reflect the emotions but it's impossible to understand some parts because of how quiet they are.

great book, not so great audio quality
