Praise

“How lucky we are to have such a clear and intelligent writer who has had profoundly personal experiences with different identities, the subject of this first-rate book.” —Kurt Vonnegut

“I realize Kate Bornstein is trying to save teenagers—the beautiful weirdos on whom the fate of our future rests—but if her book gets into the wrong hands, she might inadvertently save a whole lot of adults too.” San Francisco Chronicle

“Writer-activist-professional outcast Kate Bornstein takes an empathetic approach.” —Carol Queen, co-editor of PoMoSexuals
