Synopsis

Riki Anne Wilchins has written the book that may take the discussion of gender over the top.
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 story of self-discovery.
Lesbians, feminists, queer academics, activists, transpeople, the "queer-on-the-street," and 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.
