I finished reading the My Gender Workbook and I found that this was a self-re-working piece of literature. A lot of the articles and novels I have read have challenged gender, sex and disability in an informative tone. It's been like listening to a lecture. Not that lectures are bad but what Kate does is force us not to rethink, but to think. To really think. I had this (insane) belief that I was the most gender neutral person in the world. I still think I'm doing fairly well. I have a friend at school who is a heterosexual male that perfers to dress like a businesswoman and the only thing that came to mind was that I couldn't look that good in a pencil skirt (and perhaps why the hell was everyone staring at him like that). But after reading, writing, enacting, quizzing (damn you Kate ;-)), I realized I have a lot more to do, a lot further to go, much more to think about.

Something that still remains a mystery to me is one of the questions she (ze) asked about whether we found wearing the underwear of the opposite sex gendered or transgendered. I just feel it's practical. Men's boxer briefs prevents the inevitable wedgie that come from female underwear.
