The Great "Gender Outlaws TNG" Blog Tour

 I'm going out on tour, and I'm not leaving the comfort of my writing chair. You can come along too!

The reviews are coming in on Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation: one a day for the next nine days. Seal Press is the publisher of the new anthology. Their slogan is Groundbreaking Books, By Women, For Women. Well, they're stretching that slogan all out of shape. They came up with the fun idea to arrange for a tour of reviews from nine different corners of the feminist/trans/trans-friendly/and genderqueer blogosphere.

I've already had a chance to read the first posted review today. It's by Everett Maroon, and it's up on I Fry Mine in Butter. No puff journalism, this. It's a wonderful essay. I've posted a comment to the blog, and I hope to read and comment on each of the reviews as they're posted. 

(Oh! I'm enjoying this almost as much as I enjoyed working with S. Bear Bergman and Seal Press to put this anthology together in the first place!)

So, here's the rest of the schedule. Enjoy the perspectives!

• Tuesday, Sept 28 -  Rose Spotts posts on Twisted Peppermint.
• Wednesday, Sept 29 -  R. J. posts a comic review on Riot Nrrd Comics.
• Thursday, Sept 30  -  Jamie Ann Royce posts on Stuff Queer People Should Know
• Friday, Oct 1 – Hannah Royce posts on Walking the Labrynth

We take the weekend off, and continue the following Monday.

• Monday, Oct 4 – Zane McHattie posts on ED Recovery
• Tuesday, 10/5 – Nome posts on That’s What Ze Said
• Wednesday, 10/6 – Jac Stringer posts on MWgenderqueer

and we close our blogging tour of GO The Next Generation with...

• Thursday, 10/7 – Bevin Branlandingham posting on Queer Fat Femme Guide to Life

AND...

• Friday, 10/8 – Mr. Sinclair Sexsmith posting on SugarButch!

I'll be tweeting each stop on the tour as it goes up. So... enjoy the next couple of weeks of binary-blowing gendernalysis. And please do join in the conversation along your way with comments on each of the reviews, and right here if you like. I am SO all aquiver!

Hey - sorry to be snippy, but it's "Everett Maroon." Otherwise - love your work!

Eeep, sorry to have mis-spelled Everett Maroon's name. Thanks for the heads up. Corrected now. xoxo

Just got my copy! So far looks great, I will let you know what I think but I'm sure I'm going to thoroughly enjoy it.

I'm tearing through mine like it's dark chocolate ;-0

But seriously, I'm really enjoying it and should be on schedule for reviewing it on Butchtastic around 10/18.

It's amazing to be able to pick up a book and find so many like minds and experiences... yay for community and thank you and Bear for pulling this together.

Hi Kate,
Could you remove my last name from this post? I try not to make myself too searchable to my comics audience, in case I get an influx of haters. Thank you kindly!

Hey Kate. I was at the bookstore tonight and I picked up your Gender Outlaws TNG book. I never really buy queer/trans reading as I am more partial toward eastern studies, but I recalled having friends who like you so I picked it up. I am very happy to finally be reading a book that doesn't make me feel like in order to be trans I have to have butterflies coming out of my ass.

So glad to hear peeps are having fun with this book. Natalie Sharp... best review of the book I've read. Thanks, and happy new year to all. K
