Abstract
In the updated second edition of Whipping Girl, lesbian transgender activist and professional biologist Julia Serano shares her powerful experiences and observations -- both pre- and post-transition -- to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole.
