Whipping Girl
A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity
Book • 2007
In Whipping Girl, Julia Serano presents a collection of essays that debunk myths and misconceptions about trans women, femininity, and gender.
She argues that transphobia is deeply connected to sexism and the societal devaluation of femininity.
Serano uses her personal experiences, training as a biologist, and career in queer activism to bridge the gap between biological and social perspectives on gender.
The book makes a compelling case for the importance of empowering femininity and highlights the need for feminists and transgender activists to work together to create a more just and inclusive society.
The third edition includes a new afterword addressing the contemporary anti-trans backlash.
