Download Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity AudioBook Free
In the modified second release of Whipping Female, Julia Serano, a transsexual girl whose supremely intelligent writing demonstrates her diverse qualifications as a lesbian transgender activist and professional biologist, shares her powerful encounters and observation - both pre- and post-transition - to uncover the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity form our societal behaviour toward trans women as well as gender and sexuality as a whole. Serano's well-honed arguments stem from her potential to bridge the difference between the often-disparate natural and sociable perspectives on gender. With this provocative manifesto, she exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, fragile, and passive and exactly how this "feminine" weakness prevails only to attract and appease male desire. Furthermore to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the circumstance that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to accept and empower femininity - in all of its wondrous forms.
