Included in a blog post and resource list at https://booksbeyondbinaries.blog/2019/06/10/non-fiction-about-gender-and-trans-e... Serano does an excellent job with 201-level feminism and trans work. She is really thinking through how, for example, cis lesbians can be oppressed by homophobia and sexism but still be transphobic and to use her term, "monosexist" toward, say, a bi trans woman. Some of her analysis is brilliant, especially about how biology and culture are just too intertwined in a human personality. I am not 100% with her on solutions just because I think the systemic aspect of traditional sexism goes beyond individuals confronting their gender entitlement. Which is not to say I don't think that's a worthy pursuit; it definitely is, but getting rid of my gender entitlement ain't gonna fix the Texas legislature. (Serano seems aware of this. I think it's more that she's trying to look at gender/sex/sexuality-related isms and those are particularly prone to intersectional levels of privilege and oppression) In general, this is a book I've been looking for; something for people who are in for feminism but don't know too much about it.

A transformational approach to overcoming the divisions between feminist communities While many feminist and queer movements are designed to challenge sexism, they often simultaneously police gender and sexuality--sometimes just as fiercely as the straight, male-centric mainstream does. Some feminists vocally condemn other feminists because of how they dress, for their sexual partners or practices, or because they are seen as different and therefore less valued. Among LGBTQ activists, there is a long history of lesbians and gay men dismissing bisexuals, transgender people, and other gender and sexual minorities. In each case, exclusion is based on the premise that certain ways of being gendered or sexual are more legitimate, natural, or righteous than others. As a trans woman, bisexual, and femme activist, Julia Serano has spent much of the last ten years challenging various forms of exclusion within feminist and queer/LGBTQ movements. In Excluded, she chronicles many of these instances of exclusion and argues that marginalizing others often stems from a handful of assumptions that are routinely made about gender and sexuality. These false assumptions infect theories, activism, organizations, and communities--and worse, they enable people to vigorously protest certain forms of sexism while simultaneously ignoring and even perpetuating others. Serano advocates for a new approach to fighting sexism that avoids these pitfalls and offers new ways of thinking about gender, sexuality, and sexism that foster inclusivity.
