Feminine Protection

Feminine Protection
An interview with Julia Serano by Debbie Rasmussen, appeared in issue Risk; published in 2007; filed under Social commentary; tagged gender, julia serano, trans identity, transgender, whipping girl.

The rising visibility of trans, intersex, and genderqueer movements has led feminists—and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the world—to an increasing awareness that m and f are only the beginning of the story of gender identity. With the release of Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, Julia Serano offers a perspective sorely needed, but up until now rarely heard: a transfeminine critique of both feminist and mainstream understandings of gender.
