	Read My Lips:  Sexual Subversion and the End of Gender Riki Anne Wilchins 1997, Firebrand Books 160 Pages

From the Cover Riki Anne Wilchins has written the book that may take the discussion of gender over the top. Combining the theoretical breakthroughs of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble with the performance revelations of Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw, Read My Lips: Sexual Subversion and the End of Gender moves the dialogue to a new level. In a voice that is by turns outraged, outrageous, sad, and hilarious, Wilchins - cofounder of the Transexual Menace and Executive Director of GenderPAC - weaves theory and personal experience into a smart and compelling story of self-discovery. Lesbians, feminists, queer academics, activists, transpeople, the "queer-on-the-street," and the increasing audience of mainstream readers hungry for writing that pushes the absolute edge of the gender envelope - Read My Lips will change the way you think about bodies, sex, and gender.   Yours and everyone else's.
