Read Gender Failure by Ivan Coyote,Rae Spoon with a free trial. “I hope to reach other gender failures,” Coyote says, “and to use the book to continue the discussions and to learn from the folks who read it as well, about their own experiences within or out of the gender binary.” “The challenge was to represent the live element of the work on the page,” Coyote notes. It’s the positive response the pair got touring their live show of Gender Failure that prompted them to turn it into a book. “So far, the response has been 100 percent positive and supportive.” And then, with the book, I knew from many years of working with Arsenal Pulp Press that I would have complete creative control over my work in the Gender Failure manuscript,” Coyote says. “I decided to share my experiences when I realized that by writing and performing these stories live, I could control my words and how they were delivered. Coyote and Rae Spoon are accomplished, award-winning writers, musicians, and performers they are also both admitted 'gender failures. Coyote shares the decades-long thought process that led to that decision, the hoop-jumping required to get approved for health coverage, and the courage to publicly discuss such a private process now.
