Book Reviews of Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity
Book Review: "Whipping Girl" stands alone
Summary: 5 Stars
and cannot be praised too highly. Julia Serano expertly debunks the sexist mis-information provided by psychiatric "professionals" and the media in their portrayal of transsexual and transgendered women. She provides an amazingly clear and moving description of her own perception of gender dissonance which will ring ever so true to anyone interested in or suffering from gender incongruity. She expertly defends feminism and the feminine as a woman who appreciates and understands that these are the qualities that she loves in herself.
"Whipping Girl" is a first person, non-conjecture work of a transsexual woman declaring her right to exist with dignity. I only wish that she would release her chapter "Love Rant" as an excerpt for the book's promotion. This book is not to be missed!
