Julia Serrano
By shag carpet bomb • Mar 30th, 2009 • Category: Books & Book Reviews, Feminist Fight ClubLast year, I read Serrano’s Whipping Girl, which was very good. I was reminded of it when I saw a post at Womanist Musings which featured several cuts of Serrano speaking out against the bigotry against transgendered women on the part of ‘radical feminists’. She’s pretty engaging, much like her book. It reminds me though that I really ought to write about how pissed off I was about her section on class. My memory is dim, but ISTR that I was really annoyed that she didn’t actually talk about class but rather used a certain way of conceiving of class as the framework for understanding how transgendered people are oppressed. I remember thinking that I’d about like to hit the roof as I read that one.
But otherwise, do go and read her book. It is *very* good, especially her discussions of biology, genetics — all the sciency stuff.
