Thank you for this generous response and recommendations drumsta. I'm not sure how much I want to learn about gender issues from someone with gender dysphoria, but I will definitely check out Theory of Practice.

If I may offer a reciprocal recommendation, I recently read the book Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin, that offered a very different viewpoint from most of what I've come across in contemporary literature (I think it could be regarded to be in the 'gender studies' field); maybe it can offer some value to you in your studies.

Cheers.
