Week 8: Freaks and Other Outlaws
This week we'll be shifting from the discussion Kristin has initiated, about the relationship between disability, sex and gender, to one that Kate Bornstein describes as addressed to "freaks and other outlaws." In what ways do Kate's books pick up on (challenge, extend?) our recent conversations about disability, sex and gender? What do you find important, what problematic, in her writing? What have you learned from reading it, and what do you want to understand better? What do you want to ask Kate Bornstein next week? What do you want to tell Kate?
