I was so impressed by Stryker's calm elegance and poise. What she said spoke to me not only on the level of my feminism, but on the level of being a thoughtful, decent humna being. In terms of identifying as monster, I was truly surprised by the gap between the essay she wrote, a truly rageful and harsh indictment of society, and the soft spoken, zen-like speaker. Has Stryker lost the position of power found in the othered role of monster or was that role left behind in favor of a position of harmony. Which is more powerful; the irate monstrosity or the flexible, articulate member of society?
