Book Reviews of The Transgender Reader
Book Review: Library, maybe?
Summary: 3 Stars
It's huge (essential research for papers) but insanely expensive! (I guess if ya can afford SRS, what's a measly hundred bucks, eh. From "Biology = destiny" to "$ = destiny.")
Very cool to have the "canonical" source stuff excerpted in one place but ... well, there's a huge postmodernist stamp all over this volume that minimizes human experience in favor of clever word selection.
Trans is NOT academic anymore than it is psychiatric! The experts have already had their say! In my opinion, this should have featured more autobiographical materials, for balance.
(And, hey, why doesn't anyone look into the intersection of flower-power-"is-that-a-boy-or-girl?" Sixties culture with trans expression during and since then? Is that task up to me? Publishers, are you listening? No, I didn't think so.)
