Why gender is strange, even when it's played straight, and how race and money are two of its

Bond Stockton explores the fascinating, fraught, intimate, morphing matter of gender. Stockton

argues for gender's strangeness, no matter how 'normal' the concept seems gender is queer for

everyone, she claims, even when it's played quite straight. And she explains how race and money

dramatically shape everybody's gender, even in sometimes surprising ways. Playful but serious,
