Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Kate Bornstein's 1994 book of autobiographical theory, Gender Outlaw, drew a line in the sand about the whole boy/girl thing. "Who needs it?" America's most active transgender activist questioned. Now, in My Gender Workbook, Bornstein has assembled a collage of simple exercises, quizzes, puzzles, and essay questions that systematically break down our ingrained ideas about how women and men--and whoever is in between--should act. Bornstein's breezy, "hey, let's all discover who we might really be" style works to make this potentially threatening material accessible and even intriguing to almost all readers. Just glance down, check out who--or what--you thought you were, and get ready to answer a few questions.
Pressestimmen
"My Gender Workbook [is] the most complete guide to living with or without gender to have been written to date, putting books like Men are From Mars, Women Are From Venus squarely where they belong: on Uranus." -- Seattle Gay News "[T]he most exciting and difficult aspect of My Gender Workbook is the way it never relents. It asks a question, then another, then another, answering questions with more questions... Bornstein never tells us what or where the genderless promised land might be, but by the end of the book you do get the sense that she never describes it because she understands its indescribability so deeply." -- Hungry Mind Review "[Bornstein's] ideas are both novel and intriguing." -- Baltimore Alternative "My Gender Workbook may take a leap of faith to crack open, but the charm, wit, and quiet intelligence of its author will almost undoubtedly keep you along for the whole trip. And it is a trip, let me tell you." -- The Toronto Star Winner of the 1999 Firecracker Alternative Book Award, Special Recognition/Wildcard Category: Self Improvement

Einleitungssatz
From the moment we take our first breath (and sometimes even before that, what with sonic imaging technology), the cry "It's a boy" or "It's a girl" ushers us into this world. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

incredible! mind-blowing!,
Von matthew barbour (chicago illinois) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely: How to Become the Kind of Man or Woman You ... You Could Be...or Something Else Entirely (Taschenbuch)
a book for all genders, orientations, and adjectives. i've yet to show this book to someone who wasnt impressed. kate talks theory for those of us that would like a little, adds a dash of cosmology, and then gets into the true, errr, meat of exploring gender with fun exercizes and quizzes. hilarious, irrreverent, and ever-relevant it explores gender while maintaining the upbeat aesthetics of a true gender artist. whether your interest is academic or personal, it's a must read for _anyone_ interested in questions of gender.

This book - if it can be called that - is about the most extensive course in Gender Studies one could take without walking into a classroom and spending five months with a professor. Kate leads you through every step of the process with humor, insight and compassion - never pulling any of hir punches, though. If you're curious about the creation of gender, thinking about changing or reexamining your own gender, this is definitely a book you need to read.

Not impressive--too much theory, too much hokeyness,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely: How to Become the Kind of Man or Woman You ... You Could Be...or Something Else Entirely (Taschenbuch)
I'm not as impressed as I'd hoped to be by this book--it's playful but obnoxiously heavily theory-oriented. Bornstein spends forever discussing the time ze spends on MOOs rather than talking about how gender is done in the real world. And then ze starts to talk about gender and science, and it's clear she's never even written to any of the scientists she's caricaturing. Instead, we get told that there's the "bad" scientists (conventional ones), and the "exciting, clever, good" scientists (chaos theorists). 'Scuse me? There's a hell of a lot of interesting, gender-conformity-challenging science being done in biology labs. And not much science about gender at all in chaos theory centers. The author doesn't know what is meant by chaos theory, except maybe having watched Jurassic Park. Perhaps Bornstein should spend a little time offline in the real world.
