1) The ‘older
generation’ are often excused for not understanding transgender issues
and labels such as ‘binary’. Is this an acceptable position to hold?
2) Carole failed to thank her teacher for helping her ‘get ahead’ in
life. Is there a teacher who you should have thanked and didn’t in your
life? What did they do to help you?
3) Dominique spends many years berating herself for ‘staying in an
abusive relationship’ with another woman. Why do women, (if they do, and
if you don’t think they do let’s explore this) still blame themselves

4) Evaristo talks about her writing style as a fusion of prose and

punctuation. To what extent are you a traditionalist regarding spelling,
grammar and punctuation?
5) Can the claim that a text is a book for a female audience or a book
for a black female audience ever be a legitimate one?
