2.0

The four introductory essays by Riki Wilchins are fantastic, and should be required reading for ... everyone, really. However, I found the first-hand accounts that made up the majority of this book seemed to focus more on the role and place of gender within (or without, as the case seems to frequently be) the GLBT community, rather than within the world at large. For readers directly involved or within the GLBT community, that is important, but that makes this collection less relevant for a wider audience.
