Description
Serano’s well-honed arguments stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the continuously-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. On this provocative manifesto, she exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive, and how this feminine” weakness exists only to draw and appease male desire.
In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the case that nowadays’s feminists and transgender activists will have to work to embrace and empower femininityin all of its wondrous forms.
