Reading Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein right now. I'm debating on recommending it from now on as a good starting place for people who want to learn about trans* and gender issues. Fundamentally, at least so far, its pretty damn good and accessible, but it also came out in the early nineties and a lot has happened in gender studies since then. Also the use of words that are more accepted to be slurs now (does that make sense? Like she uses the word "hermaphrodite when I think she means intersex) that would make me a bit nervous lending the book to someone who might take it as a pass to use slurs.
