Why people recommend it
Kate Bornstein's My Gender Workbook is a notable guide that challenges conventional understandings of identity and societal expectations regarding gender roles. The book was brought up on Behind the Bastards in 2022 by Garrison Davis, who named it while quoting an article detailing titles targeted for censorship by the organization No Left Turn. Davis noted that the group indiscriminately targeted these works simply because they featured queer people or themes, grouping Bornstein's workbook alongside other controversial titles. Additionally, Miriam Grossman referenced the book during an appearance on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast in 2023. Grossman mentioned the volume while critiquing radical gender theories, drawing attention to its distinctive cover imagery featuring half a Barbie and half a Ken to illustrate her perspective on contemporary discussions surrounding gender. Across both podcast appearances, the book served as a focal point for broader cultural debates concerning representation, education, and the boundaries of acceptable discourse in public and private institutions regarding identity formation and developmental psychology.
