Not a dream

I thought that stuff like this was just what Moral Majority members used as liberal boogeymen to scare poor Timmy to sleep at night. Turns out I was wrong.

Take the Gender Aptitude Test. Know that state universities are using it in class. Be prepared not to get a “good” score unless you’re bisexual and feisty, transgendered, or asexual. If that’s not enough, you can buy the book. The blurb says:

Bornstein also takes aim at the recent flurry of books that attempt to naturalize gender difference, and puts books like Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus squarely where they belong:on Uranus. If you don’t think you are transgendered when you sit down to read this book, you will be by the time you finish it!

…yeah.

    Honey, you’re too far gone to make the climb back up to ‘real’ man or ‘real’ woman, working not only on your own gender, but the subject of gender itself for quite some time, huh? I’m willing to bet things are still a bit scary and a bit serious for you in your life. Your next step would be to let yourself explore some of the place that really thrill you, no matter the social taboos. Just be kind and compassionate when you are doing it.

    No surprise there.
