Description
Bergman is known as an activist, a gender-jammer, a performer and celebrated writer on queer and trans issues, such as her acclaimed work, Butch is a Noun. Her new collection of essays is by turns contrarian, witty and informed about the politics and the personal experiences encountered in 21st century queer and trans life.
Reviews
Bear's poetry of butchness lets us see into facets of gender that usually aren't so transparent. --Carol Queen
Following Kate Bornstein, Bergman explains how butches live outside of the inane gender binary, and how society responds to gender rebellion. --Chill Magazine
