	Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity(Trade Paperback) by Serano, Julia "Whipping Girl is a delight to read. Julia Serano is a careful and astute critic of the ways that trans women have been stereotyped and dismissed in popular culture, feminism, and psychology, and she repeatedly surprised me with her razor-sharp observations of the pervasive hatred of trans women and all differently gendered people. This is an important text for gender studies classes, as well as for therapists, journalists, and anybody who'd like to keep updated as a sex radical." --Patrick Califia, author of Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism

Some Good Fiction to Read

The Lesser of Two Evils (Mystery/Horror)

Davis Briggs moved out of Austin to get away from the the horrors of his old life as a homicide detective, and Devine Texas seemed like the perfect place to make a new life for himself. But the murder of a young boy destroys his hopes of a quiet life as a deputy of the tiny town’s police force.
With every passing day, another child dies, and Davis finds himself unable to locate any clues as to the killer’s identity. His only leads in the case are Wendy Stoffel, a local girl infamous for her nasty temper and shoplifting habits, and Jobe McKenzie, a drifter who just happens to have appeared in town on a “vacation” the same day that the murders begin.
Jobe seemingly has a lock clad alibi for every murder, while Wendy seems intent on hunting down the killer herself. And somewhere in Devine, the real killer is quickly seeking out their next victim.

Waiting for a Miracle (Comedy/Science Fiction)

In City, California, Duggan Masters is a living legend. As the criminal Light Master, he has ascended the ranks to become the undisputed overlord of all crime in the city.
Yet “the game” ceases to have meaning after City’s greatest hero, Miracle Man, vanishes without a trace. Left with only the local police to foil his plots, Light Master grows increasingly lethal, and the joy of killing has been lost.
So Duggan does what any criminal overlord would do: he kidnaps Dr. Wallace Cornwall, a famous “psychiatrist to the heroes” and writer of a best selling self help book for heroes, ‘Our Masks, Our Selves’.
Duggan introduces Wallace to Leona, a genetically engineered assassin who has turned to working part time as a “cat burglar”, and part time as a serial killer.
Wallace talks Duggan and Leona into retirement, but Duggan has one last plot to bring Miracle Man out of hiding. But really, how far is one deranged criminal overlord willing to go, for the love of his hero?

A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain and Life as a gURL by Esther Drill, Heather McDonald and Rebecca Odes

From Gemma:
This book was _awesome

It has beautiful scenes in the book.. like where two soldiers who live together (without people discriminating!) adopt two street kids and train them... there's a few Gods in there who are bi-gendered.. and thier priests/priestesses can alter thier gender at will!

The author herself is gay and alot of her tolerance and values show in the book. Just thought i'd recommend it in case anyone else is into fantasy novels. I find there's a severe lack of gender varient characters in most novels i read..
