I just came across this quote by gender theorist Kate Bornstein from the book Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us (1994), better describing my word ramble from the previous post (I haven’t read this book yet but intend to)!
“Very few groups exist…that encompass the full rainbow that is gender outlawism, and, sadly, groups still divide along the lines of male-to-female and female-to-male gender outlaws…All the categories of transgender find a common ground in that they each break one or more of the rules of gender: what we have in common is that we are gender outlaws, every one of us. To attempt to divide us into rigid categories…is like trying to apply the laws of solids to the state of fluids: it’s our fluidity that keeps us in touch with each other. It’s our fluidity and the principles that attend that constant state of flux that could create an innovative and inclusive transgender community.” — Kate Bornstein, Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us (1994)
