"""As a learned teacher with a poet's gentle voice, Joy Ladin invites her readers, in this affirming and resolute collection of essays, to slip beneath the churning surface of our world so that that we might behold the simpler truths and deeper mysteries of trans existence. Attuned to ethical and political as well as spiritual and existential concerns, Once Out of Nature brims with a quiet power.""--Susan Stryker, author of Transgender History: The Roots of Today's Revolution"
