As a kid in the 1970s and 80s, Carina Chocano was confused by the mixed messages all around her; messages that told her who she could be-and who she couldn't.

She learned that "the girl" is not a person,...

El feminismo lucha por acabar con los estereotipos de género, pero regresar a la categoría de sexo biológico puede llevarnos a un callejón sin salida". "Soy feminista desde hace muchos años. No soy cis. No soy transexual. Quizás ni siquiera soy una mujer, tal como dijo Monique Wittig, aunque he hablado en este libro como tal y me nombro en femenino....
