So I know people find posmodernism impossibly abstract. But for me, it has been a lifesaver that offers common sense and practical suggestions.
The hostility toward difference, the deadly comedy of binary gender, the cascading assertions about my body, and the impossibility of identity: Postmodernism is the set of tools that enables me to navigate my world. Maybe it serves that purpose for anyone who is or has felt different. The reason I wanted so badly to write this book was to share those tools with someone else. —Riki Wilchins, Queer Theory, Gender Theory (4)
