Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-09 00:00:00 Annne Garces I first read this when I was a teenager, who knew nothing of feminist theory, gender studies, and had very limited knowledge about the reality of life in America for people who transgress against cultural norms, who disregard socially constructed definitions of who they are "supposed to be" in favor of being true to who they ARE. Quite frankly, it fascinated me, as most theory and study of the way societies function still fascinates me (Naive 15 year old logic says "People are horrible to each other! For the stupidest reasons! How weird is that?!?! Seriously, if people could just stop being so rude and mean and violent, wouldn't everyone be a lot happier and safer?") and this book in particular, something about the place I was at when I read it, something about my feelings as a girl growing into being a woman and trying to figure out what that actually means... something about it all came together and this book blew my mind.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-06-07 00:00:00 Jordan Dsa One of the great books I read in my Philosophy of Feminism course. Hell of a lot of truths and some great arguments against those people who like to use the Bible to talk about how homosexuality is a "sin".
