Julia Serano ⎯ Putting the Feminine Back Into Feminism | Trans/gender Awareness Week

Monday, November 8, 2010 - 5:00pm
Monday, November 8, 2010 - 6:30pm

As a feminist, biologist and femme-identified trans woman, Julia has a unique perspective on feminine gender expression.  In this talk, she moves beyond questions of “nature vs. nurture,” and challenges the popular tendency in our culture to denigrate and sexualize feminine gender expression.  In addition to critiquing both sexist and certain feminist interpretations of femininity, Julia offers new potential directions for femme politics and activism.
