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 readers on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. On one level, Gender Outlawdetails 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 Outlawwas decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994.
