S. Bear Bergman

Bergman is known as an activist, a gender-jammer, a performer and celebrated writer on queer and trans issues, such as her acclaimed work, Butch is a Noun. Her new collection of essays is by turns contrarian, witty and informed about the politics and the personal experiences encountered in 21st century queer and trans life.

This was so interesting and worth it to read! I love essays and it was really eye-opening to read about someone’s experience with being trans but not ‘straightforwardly’ so, for lack of a better word. It was just really informative; it’s always so important to read about people’s experiences when they differ from your own. A balance is best but I’ve been really invested lately in diving deep into books that are about experiences I’ve never had or had to think about. Seriously recommend it for all humans!!!
