Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are - whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 52
Reese nearly had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York, a job she didn't hate. She'd scraped together a life previous generations of trans women could only dream of; the only thing missing was a child. Then everything fell apart, and three years on, Reese is still in self-destruct mode, avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.

Publisher's Summary
"I know I'm not a man...and I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably not a woman, either.... The trouble is, we're living in a world that insists we be one or the other."
With these words, Kate Bornstein ushers listeners on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.
Gender Outlaw was decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994. Now, some 20-odd years later, this book stands as both a classic and a still-revolutionary work - one that continues to push us gently but profoundly to the furthest borders of the gender frontier.

Life-saver/changer. Brilliant.
Books read by the author are almost always a no-go for me, but in this case Kate's reading of her own material raises the caliber of said material from merely incredible to nearly mind-blowing. She is a trained actor, which helps, but she's more than that: She is someone speaking so intimately and directly to her audience you can almost see her lips moving.
This book found me at a time in my life where I was experiencing the very things she writes so passionately about. She gave me the words and, with them, a safe space. This book feels like family. If you're a queer person of any stripe, or an ally, or just someone who appreciates stunning autobios... listen.
A beautiful piece of work.

Really amazing.
Just an inspirational performance. I always look for author narrated pieces and was very happy to be able to experience this one since my daughter was born male.
Thank you Kate for sharing with us all. In this case you definite connected with your audience.

Entertaining and informative
I think this book is great for anyone who wants to understand more about gender: for oneself, as a parent, as a teacher, therapist, etc. The book was funny, engaging and thought-provoking. I love the authors playful way of relating and talking about gender.
