How come I've never heard of this before? I'm hauling ass to Samoa first chance I get! :P
Excerpt:
"I just got back from Samoa, and I would like to be the first to say, "Holy fucking shit." I only went there to surf and hang around on the beach, but instead I got an eyeful of a verdant transsexual paradise that's left me questioning what it even is to be a boy.
...Samoa has these guys called fa'afafines. They're men who are raised from birth as women. Everyone is cool with it, they are everywhere, and they are really pretty..."

hey everybody,
I found this article in the SFGate this morning. A lot of perspectives are covered here, including some really important ones about race that are often overlooked.
blessed be,

I am a horrible procrastinator, and tonight I need to interview someone who has either been diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, or is currently undergoing a transformation. Mtf or ftm works! It's for a short abnormal psychology paper, and the focus will be to debate using the diagnosis of GID, whether it is actually a 'disorder' or not. Please email me or IM me tonight, if I am not around, it's because I'm off researching at a friend's place, thank you so much!

This from RuPaul's blog entry yesterday . . . similarly, i’m always surprised when i get questions from people who want to know if i’ve had a sex change or if i live as a woman. i always thought it was quite clear, through my writings, interviews and more importantly, my energy, that i am having a laugh at the issue of gender, rather than taking it seriously. you wouldn’t believe some of the things people ask me. sometimes i feel like i’m reading someone else’s mail.
no matter how many times i say that i don’t define myself by my sexuality, my color, the car i drive or the clothes i wear, people can’t resist wanting to put me in a compartment that serves to justify their own doctrine. i think these people are subconsciously afraid to acknowledge my multiplicity because it would force them to examine their own, which is usually hidden underneath their religion, politics or bling. before you can begin to understand someone, you must first love them, which is too daunting an idea for most. All I can say to this is RIGHT ON!

This article was published in this morning's San Francisco Chronicle and despite a few minor errors (that I caught) is a good one. This is the scene I have been hanging out in. Throw out your pronouns -- 'he' and 'she' are meaningless terms in the Bay Area's flourishing transgender performance scene

On a recent evening, 62 people traveled to the edge of the Mission District and paid $5 at the door of El Rio bar to see "Wicked Messenger 3.0," a show aptly billed as "21st century variant cabaret."
That night's performers included transgender punk-rocker Shawna Virago and her band the Deadly Nightshades, and Julia Serano, a self-described transsexual lesbian who powered her way through a poem that read, in part, "I am the loose thread/ that unravels the gender of everyone around me."
Transgender writer Max Wolf Valerio's spirited reading about a date with a clueless co-worker inspired so much laughter that he momentarily broke up himself, giggling into the microphone: "It's true, it's true!"
While the evening of extreme-sport gender-bending was laden with surprises -- including the drag king strip act and Valerio relating how he ultimately got the girl -- the uninitiated might be most surprised to find out just how commonplace the event was.
As the Bay Area's transgender community has grown and made significant civil rights gains, a transgender art scene has flowered. Taking the stage at these performances are people who have a gender identity different from the one assigned at birth or who call themselves "genderqueer" to mean that they don't subscribe to a male-female gender system . . .

-Making 'Room at the Inn' For Transgender People
-New Guide Provides Concrete Recommendations for Shelters on How to Make Shelters Safe for Transgender People
"I don't think most Americans have any idea how much discrimination transgender people face," said Matt Foreman, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director. "If they did, more people would be doing something about it. Transgender people who lose their jobs because of discrimination, then lose their homes because they can no longer pay the rent or mortgage, are still likely to get a 'your kind is not welcome here' from an emergency shelter. I am hopeful that this guide will be a tool for shelters to make changes so that all people have a safe and warm place to stay."

| Trans/Genderqueer/Genderfuck songs? |
[15 Dec 2003|12:46pm] |
Hi there,
I'm trying to find choice songs that fuck with gender, not just for an upcoming party I'm helping to plan (more on that party later), but so's I can expand my musical repertoire. Any suggestions? Artist and titles? Thanks.
