In My Gender Workbook, Kate brings theory down to Earth and provides a practical guide to living with or without a gender. Using a unique, deceptively simple and always entertaining workbook format, Kate gently but firmly guides you to discover your own unique gender identity. She also takes aim at recent efforts to naturalize gender differences, putting books like Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus squarely where they belong: on Uranus. If you don't think you are transgendered when you sit down to read this book, you will be by the time you finish it!

Editorial Reviews:

Chicago Outlines-

"My Gender Workbook is a smart, sassy, and interactive journey of rethinking the limits and breaking down the restraints of the binary man/woman gender system."

Seattle Gay News-

"My Gender Workbook [is] the most complete guide to living with or without gender to have been written to date, putting books like Men are From Mars, Women Are From Venus squarely where they belong: on Uranus."

Time Out New York-

"If you think you don't have issues to resolve about gender and sexuality, you'll think otherwise by the time you finish reading Kate Bornstein's latest volume, MY GENDER WORKBOOK...the outspoken transsexual lesbian rebel disarms the reader with mock aptitude tests, crossword puzzles, and third grade-style textbook talk. But the subject at hand is significantly more adult."

The Boston Book Review-

"Only the most indifferent reader can get out of MY GENDER WORKBOOK unaltered -- a proof positive of the fluidity of identities Bornstein lives to (dis)embody."

San Francisco Bay Times-

"A complex, yet easy to work with book on a complicated subject."

The Toronto Star-

"My Gender Workbook may take a leap of faith to crack open, but the charm, wit, and quiet intelligence of its author will almost undoubtedly keep you along for the whole trip. And it is a trip, let me tell you."

"MY GENDER WORKBOOK really does slowly, gently, personably and comically, but thoroughly and devastatingly pick apart close to everything I'd thought about gender..." -

Au Courant-

"MY GENDER WORKBOOK is deceptively simple, hands-on, and entertaining."

New York Blade-

"A thorough, supportive, and much needed nuts-and-bolt guide to untangling the quandary of culture, desire, and chromosomes...an extraordinarily insightful and personalized journey through gender."

Out Magazine-

"...laced with witticism."

Gay People's Chronicle-

"With exercises and though-provoking narratives, Kate Bornstein gently prods readers to take a fresh look at their own gender with an open mind and a sense of humor."

Etc.-

"An interesting self-introspective trip (laced with her insightful wisdom and acerbic wit, as well as comic illustrations by 'Hot Head Paisan' artist Dianne DiMassa) that provides us with tips on getting in touch with ourselves and finding out exactly what it is we want that self to be."

Southern Voice-

"...valuable to anyone questioning the rules of gender that attempt to keep us all trapped in neat little boxes..."

Creative Loafing-

"Bornstein's book offers a taste of her deliciously sly sense of humor, while at the same time providing the reader a key to unlocking his or her own personal mysteries."

Feminist Bookstore News-

"This will be a huge hit...a highly accessible, hands-on (gloved or ungloved)guide to having your own unique gender. I'll eat my boa if I'm wrong on this one."

Philadelphia City Paper-

"MY GENDER WORKBOOK is a giddy, book-length, Cosmopolitan kind of questionnaire that asks what it means to be a man, woman, or neither."

Hungry Mind Review-

"The most exciting and difficult aspect of this book is the way it never relents. It asks a question, the another, then another, answering questions with more questions."

The Advocate-

"The celebrated 'gender outlaw' tells how to loosen up and enjoy your male side, female side, and all the sides in between."
