Eye on Gender

John Berger, an art critic, published his seminal book called Ways of Seeing in 1972, and when I was into recreating myself, at least in the eyes of the world, his insights were invaluable. For a taste of it I found this on the net.

If you are into gender, illusion, how we create our worlds and so on, this is a good read. I keep lending my copy to someone or other, which means that I keep giving it away, so I had to hit amazon again to find another. If you get hold of a copy, the good stuff is in section 3. This was one source of the secrets that put me on the track to understanding how to recreate my own gender at home, to my particular taste. It's all just waterlillies on a pool; fascinating, floating on reflections of the sky.
