I bought your Rachel Maddow thing! I'm very excited about it! It's the first wall covering I've purchased for my new room. One of the things I lost in my apartment fire was my cut out of the rachel maddow picture from the rolling stone magazine, and I was worried about how to replace it. There's not a lot out there. I love her.
Awesome! Thanks for buying my art! I love Rachel too and I hope you enjoy the poster. Post a pic once you get it up! I am sorry about your fire. :(

Transgender Rights in the Era of Same-Sex Marriage: Are We Forgetting the The United States moves inexorably toward granting equality to the L.G.B., but in the process, while still pronouncing that satisfying final consonant, we often, in practice, drop the T.

Nodding to fashion’s ongoing preoccupation with pushing gender boundaries comes ‘Studs’, a series of nine unique photo studies. Exploring the idea of a third gender, Simon Foxton and Bea Sweet recruit a range of subjects who refuse to comply with traditional notions of the sexes. The portraits - each a study of unconventional beauty - are captured by Nick Knight in stills and fashion film. (via Studs - SHOWstudio - The Home of Fashion Film)

Reader Ramblings: SOFFAs (not couches) My boyfriend is transgender, and he is currently planning to wait on T but wants to go ahead with top surgery. It was cool to see this blog because I only know two other transpeople and they both insisted that you need to be on T before top surgery.
You seem so positive, and it’s refreshing to hear this. Many people talk about transitioning as a growing and learning experience, but so far all I’m seeing is the person I most love feel more distant and wounded by his own body. He’s my best friend and sometimes I just can’t do anything to make him happy.

The realm between The past 10 years has seen the rise of a growing transgender community of people who do not identify strictly as male or female.
Excellent article about genderqueer / nonbinary people.
How does Coyote want to be referred for this story? “An artist. Author of 10 books. An activist with youth. A human being. A musician. I’m so many more things than my gender and so much more than someone who doesn’t fit into a gender box.”
