Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive by Julia Serano

4.0

FINALLY FINISHED!!!!! I feel almost exactly the same as I did for Whipping Girl. My head is reeling. I need another read-through. I cannot speak to the content nor do it justice. It is a must-read. I can be better and I will be better and I still don't know how to even shoddily execute to be cognizant of the points made. The specific concepts and ideas are so good. I have so many passages I want to share, so many marked identities I want to discuss... I don't even know where to start.

To single out passages:
Ch 14 "How Double Standards Work" is one of the best things I have ever read. I hope to reference it in the future to describe the complex relationship I have with my identities, their spectrum of being "out" and/or visible, and so on. It resonated so deeply.
