The Real Reveal: Kate Bornstein
Meet Kate Bornstein
This interview is way over due. I had the glorious pleasure of sitting down on zoom with my friend Kate Bornstien last summer and then I couldn't find the interview. My deep apology to Kate for taking so long to get this interview out.
So much has changed and happened since we talked. Kate Bornstien is the pioneer of pioneers. She has been on the leading edge of the gender conversation since the early 90's when her book "Gender Outlaw" came out. While this book may be a little dated, it is still a leading edge conversation and challenge to gender roles and the concept of gender itself. Her contribution to the gender queer community cannot be overstated.
Kate is a personal hero to me and to many of my friends who were inspired and gifted her work as we were struggling to come out. She is a gift to our community and I am so blessed to know her. Please welcome to the show Kate Bornstein.
Since 1989, trans trailblazer Kate Bornstein has—with humor and spunk—ushered us into a world of limitless possibility through a daring re-envisionment of the gender system as we know it. Today, Kate identifies as nonbinary: not a man, and not a woman—and she’s been writing about nonbinary gender identity for nearly thirty years.
