"Gender Outlaw" is the work of a woman who has been through some changes - a former heterosexual male and one-time Scientologist and IBM salesperson, Kate Bornstein is now a lesbian woman writer and actress who makes regular rounds on the TV talk shows. This book covers: the "mechanics" of her surgery; everything you've always wanted to know about gender (but were too confused to ask); the place and politics of the transgendered; and the questions of those who give the subject little thought. It takes on various communities: gay, lesbian, straight, S/M and transgender, along with society at large. This work also includes Bornstein's play, "Hidden: A Gender".
