I recommend Gender and Sexuality For Beginners

I really can't recommend Gender Trouble. It's practically the definition of post-modernist intellectual wankery. It's just hundreds of pages of dense paragraphs full of nearly impenetrable jargon. It's the very opposite of accessible.

You won't find any books that express my point of view, because I am such hetrodoxical feminist that its easier to simply call me an antifeminist, and academic feminism has rigidly orthodoxy that does not tolerate meaningful dissent from established dogma.

If you're just looking for an introductory text to gender studies, for example if you just want a better understanding of concepts like performativity, then I'd recommend Gender & Sexuality For Beginners. I haven't read it myself, but I've never been disappointed by the For Beginners series and it's usually my first stop when I want to dive into an unfamiliar area.
