Julia Serano shares her experiences and insights - both pre- and post-transition - to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole. Serano's well-honed arguments and pioneering advocacy stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. In this provocative manifesto, she exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive.

Author Kate Bornstein ushers listeners on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.

When Wayne and Kelly Maines adopted identical twin boys, they thought their lives were complete. But it wasn't long before they noticed a marked difference between Jonas and his brother, Wyatt. Jonas preferred sports and trucks and many of the things little boys were "supposed" to like; but Wyatt liked princess dolls and dress-up and playing Little Mermaid. By the time the twins were toddlers, confusion over Wyatt's insistence that he was female began to tear the family apart.

Description
National Best Seller
2020 Canada Reads, Longlisted
An inspirational story of accepting and embracing two trans people in a family - a family who shows what's possible when you "lead with love".
All Amanda Jetté Knox ever wanted was to enjoy a stable life. She never knew her biological father, and while her mother and stepfather were loving parents, the situation was sometimes chaotic. At school, she was bullied mercilessly, and at the age of 14, she entered a counselling program for alcohol addiction and was successful.
While still a teenager, she met the love of her life. They were wed at 20, and the first of three children followed shortly. Jetté Knox finally had the stability she craved - or so it seemed. Their middle child struggled with depression and avoided school. The author was unprepared when the child she knew as her son came out as transgender at the age of 11. Shocked, but knowing how important it was to support her daughter, Jetté Knox became an ardent advocate for trans rights.
But the story wasn't over. For many years, the author had coped with her spouse's moodiness, but that chronic unhappiness was taking a toll on their marriage. A little over a year after their child came out, her partner also came out as transgender. Knowing better than most what would lie ahead, Jetté Knox searched for positive examples of marriages surviving transition. When she found no role models, she determined that her family would become one.
The shift was challenging, but slowly the family members noticed that they were becoming happier and more united. Told with remarkable candour and humour, and full of insight into the challenges faced by trans people, Love Lives Here is a beautiful story of transition, frustration, support, acceptance, and, of course, love.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"[A] success both through strong writing and the crackling feeling on the page that she genuinely loves the shit out of her trans family." (Xtra)
"This sweet and positive account of a family facing obstacles and growing closer together is inspiring." (Publishers Weekly)
"Love Lives Here is an emotionally raw, often funny book that leaves the reader wanting to be Amanda Jetté Knox’s best friend. It’s the story of how people tried to push her down, and will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever been bullied. And that’s a lot of us!" (Ottawa Sun)

Thought Provoking
Excellent book about love and inclusivity. Made me really think about how I may have inadvertently upset the transgendered people I know. This is definitely going to drive me to read more and be mindful of not just what I say, but how I say it.

Insightful, real and illuminating.
Very enlightening. This is a must read book. Clearly articulates the love and human nature that we must all see and feel when we interface with a person with a different sexual and gender make up from ours. Love indeed, has no gender. It runs freely, and must be unfettered in all of us, and with each other.

I loved every second of it. I related to so much of it, there were even moments where I felt like it was my story being told.
Thanks so much for writing this.

Must Read
This book was so beautiful to hear. Great narration by the author. Anyone who loves someone queer or trans should read this book for guidance and as an indirect guide book on how to love someone trans or queer in a supportive way. And any one trans or LGBTQ+ I’d recommend this book to in order to feel some love and inspiration when it comes to what love can look like and how families can heal and thrive. I finished listening to this audiobook and immediately went out and bought 2 paper copies for a couple family members who are working to support their trans teenage daughters.
