I'm nearly 62. I've had transgender friends and colleagues for about half my life, so I find it somewhat bewildering how obsessed some people have become recently over legislating such a small minority of human beings. Reading how this has grown out of a few specific strands of feminism (and been co-opted) is interesting. Poststructural feminism was new to me, I think, so that was also an interesting aspect of this essay (unless I've previously read about in one of your books and forgotten -- my memory isn't what it used to be).
