Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us Audiobook (Free)

‘I know I’m not a guy . and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m most likely not a woman, possibly . . . The trouble can be, we’re surviving in a world that insists we become one or the additional.’ With these phrases, Kate Bornstein ushers listeners on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic trip over the terrains of gender and identification. Using one level, Gender Outlaw information Bornstein’s transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian female, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and efficiency artist. But this specific coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described non-binary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who hardly ever stops questioning our ethnic assumptions.

Gender Outlaw was years before its period when it was first published in 1994. Now, some twenty-odd years afterwards, this publication stands as both a classic and a still-revolutionary work-one that continues to push us gently but profoundly to the furthest borders from the gender frontier.
