"The Default World is a novel about a trans woman who sets out to exploit a group of wealthy roommates, only to fall under the spell of their hedonistic lifestyle"--

Newly revised and updated, this classic manifesto is “a foundational text for anyone hoping to understand transgender politics and culture in the U.S. today” (NPR)*Named as one of 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of All Time by Ms. Magazine*   A landmark of trans and feminist nonfiction, Whipping Girl is Julia Serano’s indispensable account of what it means to be a transgender woman in a world that consistently derides and belittles anything feminine. In a series of incisive essays, Serano draws on gender theory, her training as a biologist, her career in queer activism, and her own experiences before and after her gender transition to examine the deep connections between sexism and transphobia. She coins the term transmisogyny to describe the specific discrimination trans women face—and she shows how, in a world where masculinity is seen as unquestionably superior to femininity, transgender women’s very existence becomes a threat to the established gender hierarchy.   Now updated with a new afterword on the contemporary anti-trans backlash, Whipping Girl makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activists must work to embrace and empower femininity—in all of its wondrous forms—and to make the world safe and just for people of all genders and sexualities.

Forward by E.C. Waddington: Many chemical and physical changes are reversible, although some are not. One example of an irreversible physical change is the cracking of an egg. It can only be done in one direction: forward.Keeping it Together reminds me of an egg cracking in reverse - it is rare, defiant, unexpected. You want to see it in slow motion, over and over again. Read on and see the slimy whites and rich yolk splattered on the floor with shards of shell scattered around. Watch the waves of viscous protein crawl to the epicenter of the explosion and gather together. Note the feeling in your stomach as you see the eggshell fragments align together, as the yolk is sucked back in as the final globs of white slip between the cracks, as the fracture lines fade out. It is whole again, it is pure again, impossible - but you are sure you had just seen its guts spilled out on the kitchen floor.Inside Keeping it Together, you will find a raw, unusual, and interactive reflection on the self and the artist. It is a whimsical and gross exploration of what it means to create art, what it is to be art in space as time, the horror of falling apart, and the weirdness of clotting back together. When I first read through the manuscript, my soul was cracked open on the counter and its shell flew apart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and that you are inspired to break a few eggs too.
