This anthology of stories, poems, history, and opinions from queer people just goes to show how diverse the queer community is. Given that each of the contributions is by a different person, they all hit a little bit differently. Some of them I connected to rather well, but others I was underwhelmed by. There were some good points made throughout, but it did not feel as if it had a sense of direction or purpose behind placing the contributions where they were.
I first read this book after coming out as nonbinary almost two years ago. I found it to be super helpful in thinking more in depth about my identity and how I interact with the people around me, and has become foundational to me in my gender journey. Despite being nearly 30 years old, I still found it to be quite relevant and helpful in my own life.

Per l’occasione volevo quindi parlarvi di questo libro che ho letto qualche anno fa e che sul momento ho quasi odiato tanto è grande la sua capacità di togliere la terra di sotto i piedi e destabilizzare chi legge. Per questo, non finirò mai di ringraziarlo.
Di cosa parla Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation di così spaventevole? È una raccolta di testimonianze di persone transgender, non binarie, travestite, transessuali e via dicendo che sfidano quello che ci hanno insegnato e credevamo di sapere sui generi. Le esperienze riportate sono così varie che è altamente probabile trovarne almeno una in grado di scuotere le nostre convinzioni.
Purtroppo il libro è disponibile solo in inglese (ma dai?), ma provate a dargli una chance, prendendolo in prestito su Internet Archive: c’è sia questa versione del 2010, sia quella precedente del 1994 e intitolata Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us. Se siete avvezz* a leggere in inglese non dovreste avere problemi, ma prendendolo in prestito, male che vada, non avrete buttato soldi!… (mais)
