Ā
A landmark of trans and feminist nonfiction, Whipping Girl is Julia Seranoās indispensable account of what it means to be a transgender woman in a world that consistently derides and belittles anything feminine. In a series of incisive essays, Serano draws on gender theory, her training as a biologist, her career in queer activism, and her own experiences before and after her gender transition to examine the deep connections between sexism and transphobia. She coins the term transmisogyny to describe the specific discrimination trans women faceāand she shows how, in a world where masculinity is seen as unquestionably superior to femininity, transgender womenās very existence becomes a threat to the established gender hierarchy. Ā
Now updated with a new afterword on the contemporary anti-trans backlash, Whipping Girl makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to embrace and empower femininityāin all of its wondrous formsāand to make the world safe and just for people of all genders and sexualities.
