I realize that this was almost a year ago now, but I thought of this comment recently and it really started to bug me. Your hair color isn't a part of your core identity. People don't address you with different titles based on your hair color. You n…

Alright, I'll accept that. But then their official sex is still the one they were born with, and it should be the one listed on driver's licences, IDs, etc. Even if I dye my hair, my ID and DL all still say blonde.

To Wong Foo is one of my all time favorite movies. "What about the two of you, leaving Poor Ms. Vita alone at the hands of a possibly dead sheriff Dullard?!!!"

Frizz K. West replied to Andrew's discussion 'Transgender Rights'

You're confusing sex and gender. Sex is between your legs, all the physical aspects of being a man or a woman, and it's determined by DNA. Gender is in your head, and there are many factors that determine it, to degrees that we can't yet figure out.…

Sinnymun replied to Andrew's discussion 'Transgender Rights'

Huh. If you say so. I can see how that would be uncomfortable, but like I said, to me gender isn't something that you 'think and feel' you are. You're DNA says girl? You ARE a girl. DNA says boy? You ARE a boy. Obviously, if you don't like it, you m…

Sinnymun replied to Andrew's discussion 'Transgender Rights'

I don't know any transgendered people, and as far as I can see, I don't and wouldn't have any problem with them. But it's something I just don't understand. I think it's mostly because I've never thought of gender as 'girl pieces' v 'boy pieces' or…

Transgenderism

Today we were at Radical Cheerleading practice (we're sexy, we're cute, we're radical to boot! Who are we? Just guess. We refuse to be oppressed!) and after one of our cheers, somebody came up to me and asked about one of the lines in one of our cheers:

We're butchy, we're femme, we're transgender girls and men!

This person wanted to know what, exactly, transgender was. I was kind of shocked - I live in Boston. It's like a queer metropolis. My friends and I were kind of stuck on how to explain… Continue

BANG Beta Phase Alpha

Just got back from the Alpha phase of BANG Beta. I'm the only one calling it that.

Much fun was had, happy dancing was accomplished, food was eaten, videos were made, and we accosted people wearing alvin and the chipmunks shirts. It was, in a word, fantastic.

I had to leave early, as did some others. Silly things like traveling got in our way.

Thanks, Tiffany, for organizing. Thanks Tom for the...information on Boston?

It was very fun. I hope I get to chill with all of you again at some poin… Continue

Julie Anne Peters - you know you all want free books

Some of you know (and by some, I mean possibly 2. Maybe.) I run a group on myspace for those of us who like the work of Julie Anne Peters. For those of you know in the know, Peters writes books for and about GLBT Youth. For those of you further not in the know, GLBT is Gay Lesbian Bisexual or Transgendered. This is going somewhere, I promise.

Julie is really a great person as well as author, and totally interacts with her fans. She's an active member of the group on Myspace, and she's just lots… Continue

I have a small collections of costumes myself (on the tribal belly dance end of the spectrum, but no less, costumes).
As for Peters, I've not yet read any of her work, but you've peaked my interest, so I shall and will thusly report back!
Take care!
