So incredibly thought provoking & insightful on the relationship between gender & psychoanalysis- I’ve underlined too many paragraphs to count & already want to go back and revisit sections. It’s affected my own thinking about future academic research & what else to read next. Brave, eloquent & important.

Interesante e inspirador para personas queer, trans o no binarias. Pero también tiene mucho de panfletero y frases hechas que intentan enlazar con lo científico y lo sci-fi que honestamente me producen un poco de cringe. Pero supongo que el cringe es normal, dado que a lo largo del texto se encarga de encarar fuertemente a una audiencia, por lo que se vuelve inevitable imaginar sus rostros de desprecio e incomodidad. Una actividad para hacer mientras se lee es preguntarse si cada vez que ocupa los términos “patriarco-colonial” o similares está aportando al contenido del enunciado, o más bien rellenando.
Páginas dobladas: 2.

Volete un libro breve che dice un sacco di cose non scontate e che vi ricorda che il mondo sta cambiando e che vi dà speranza per il futuro? Eccolo.

This speech and essay is not an easy read, but surely one that must be done in order to start a conversation about the ideology, paradigm, and epistemology of sex, gender, and sexual difference, and their treatment and definition through psychoanalysis and other fields of study and knowledge.

Did I agree or fully understand and subscribe to everything I could read in this? Not really, but this is not the point. I personally learned a lot from this and will make sure to research more with this booklet at hand. Can't wait to sit down with a group of friends to hear their opinion about it!
