Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity

Julia Serano

It reminds me of a point in Julia Serano’s Whipping Girl about how some people treat gender identity as optional or requiring their agreement, that identity can be rejected or taken away. People who make a show of “Well *I* do the right thing” are playing up the same point.

@CommonTransWs Thank you for running this! My name's Riley Black and I'm an author and paleontologist. My latest book is The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, a tale of extinction and life's resilience framed by my own experience transitioning. If you're a fossil fan, I think you'll really like it. https://t.co/gaXkVF94Kz
