![]() With her first full-length book, biologist, writer and musician Serano positions herself as a Betty Friedan of the transsexual community. ![]() In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about being transgender, Serano makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to embrace and empower femininity-in all of its wondrous forms. In this provocative manifesto, she exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive. Serano's well-honed arguments and pioneering advocacy stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. In Whipping Girl, biologist and trans activist Julia Serano shares her experiences and insights-both pre- and post-transition-to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole. ![]() *Named as one of 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of All Time by Ms. This classic manifesto is “a foundational text for anyone hoping to understand transgender politics and culture in the U.S. ![]()

She’s especially appealing to a certain kind of independent-minded girl, tomboys and baby dykes, and I loved Harriet, even if I couldn’t put my finger on those reasons why. Harriet is a touchstone for kids who were different: she fights with her parents, gets into trouble at school, and spies on neighbors in their own homes. I can’t say that about any other book I’ve ever had. This is a book that I’ve bought for others, read aloud to little kids, had to buy again and again because a loan to someone else became permanent. It never disappoints and is always laugh-out-loud funny. I’ve read the book dozens of times, and continue to pick it up every once in a while, even now.
