Serano's well-honed arguments stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. In 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 attract and appease male desire. In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to embrace and empower femininity -- in all of its wondrous forms."--provided by Amazon.com. 505 0 $a Coming to terms with transgenderism and transsexuality -- Skirt chasers : why the media depicts the trans revolution in lipstick and heels -- Before and after : class and body transformations -- Boygasms and girlgasms : a frank discussion about hormones and gender difference -- Blind spots : on subconscious sex and gender entitlement -- Intrinsic inclinations : explaining gender and sexual diversity -- Pathological science : debunking sexological and sociological models of transgenderism -- Dismantling cissexual privilege -- Ungendering in art and academia -- Experiential gender -- Deconstructive surgery -- Bending over backwards : traditional sexism and trans-woman-exclusion policies -- Self-deception -- Trans-sexualization -- Submissive streak -- Love rant -- Crossdressing : demystifying femininity and rethinking "male privilege" -- Barrette manifesto -- Putting the feminine back into feminism -- The future of queer/trans activism. 650 0 $a Transsexualism. 650 0 $a Transsexuals. 650 0 $a Feminism. 655 7 $a Family & Relationships. $2 local 655 7 $a Nonfiction. $2 local 655 7 $a History & Culture. $2 local 941 $a 6 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220802013740.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210930010221.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201106010101.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528062016.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20161004020530.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20160927010353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BD678076847711E6888603CBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
