Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us

Part manifesto, part memoir, this groundbreaking book challenges binary gender norms with wit, honesty, and revolutionary spirit. Drawing from personal experience as a trans woman and performance artist, Kate Bornstein explores identity, gender theory, and the limits of language in a way that is both deeply intellectual and joyfully rebellious.

~ Included for its foundational role in queer and trans literature, offering readers a provocative and empowering exploration of what it means to exist beyond the binary. ~

PLEASE NOTE:
Originally published in the 1990s and updated in 2016, this foundational text helped open doors for public conversations about gender beyond the binary. While some language may now feel outdated, its place in queer literary history remains significant.
