Invoking the spirit of Muriel Dimen’s early queering of psychoanalytic writing, the author sandwiches – between echoes of Dimen’s 1991 paper on deconstructing (gender) difference and Judith Butler’s (contemporaneous) 1990 gender-deconstructing masterpiece “Gender Trouble” – a recent, excerpted dialogue among five female-born queers who serrendipitously helped each other flesh out how their 20th century woman-centered feminist values (still!) critically anchor and enliven their 21st century trans*/gender-queer lives.
