Please Just Take Testosterone. Halberstam's "Female Masculinity"

from Cracked Ivory · host CrackedIvory

Is there a difference between trans men and butch lesbians? Are non-transitioning queer people like refugees? And most importantly, HOW MUCH SEX ARE THEY HAVING IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM? This episode, Emma and Talia are joined by Isaac (The Trans Dandy, he/they/ze) to discuss Jack Halberstam's psychedelic experience Female Masculinity, a work of queer theory with a truly unearned reputation as 'representative' of the transmasculine experience.
