The Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka
Sent a friend a copy of my feminist retelling of Kafka's The Metamorphosis, when a teenage girl wakes up 8 months pregnant and everyone around her just blames her, as if this wasn't a strange thing, but perfectly normal. I still like that story. Maybe I'll be a writer again.

We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation
Eric Garcia
I've been reading We're Not Broken by Eric Garcia this week and just finished a section about gender and autism. Once more, I feel like shouting--understanding autism is THE ONLY WAY to understand gender. We autists teach you neurotypical people about yourselves and your world.
