Bad Reviews are by TERFS

Revisado: 05-17-22

This book is a stunning meditation on gender, sex, desire, and all the complexities of being a woman. It breaks my heart to see these 1 star reviews written by transphobes whose dissection of their gender likely begins and ends with pussy hats, equal pay, and "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus".
Andrea Long Chu is fearless in her examination of the constant and often contradictory movement between male and female that all people navigate every day, whether or not they are aware. Her theories are so profound that the very language we use to describe issues of sex and gender is exposed as myopic, outdated, and built upon millennia of subjugation and lies. The only truth that remains is one of fluidity; fluidity of so-called biological sex, of gender identity, gender expression, manhood, womanhood, maleness and femaleness. The sex/gender binary and all its arbitrary truths are revealed to rest unsteadily upon one another, a house of cards present on every narrow-minded street in realms social, political, artistic, and introspective. "Females" is a gust of wind.
Those who would see this text as misogynistic should stick to lighter reading such as JK Rowling's twitter feed, or t-shirts that bear the phrase "nevertheless she persisted".
