The pieces in this collection were hit or miss for me. Regardless, a lot to think about in terms of trans visibility, violence, trans art, and more. Certainly a valuable collection of trans thought and imagination. 6/10

I'd do 3.5 if I could, but that is really just my personal taste. This is a PHENOMENAL book, however as an outside from the art world a good chunk of it went absolutely over my head... Some of the essays were so moving, and made me think for days. Others I simply could grasp what they were saying - but I have no doubt an artist would be able to. I suggest this for anybody who is in the art community!

some compelling essays!
I enjoyed the interweaving of more academic style theory with interviews,artist works, and roundtables.

As RuPaul’s Drag Race becomes more main stream, this is an important reminder of how entertainment has been dramatically changed drag/transsexual people for a long time. Important read, but it is pretty scholarly- not a criticism, but may not be a read accessible to everyone!
