Gender is Not Just a Performance →
genderqueer:
Most compelling thing I’ve read all day; it gave me goosebumps. I’d love to send this to everyone who doesn’t “get” why gender is so important to trans / genderqueer / gender variant people.
Julia Serano is such a talented writer.

“If one more person tells me that “all gender is performance,” I think I am going to strangle them.
Perhaps most annoying about...

TRANSPRIDE: gender-neutral parenting? →
As a user of MSN, when I sign on, a little box comes up with current news features that are supposedly “hot topics.” Recently, I found one that spoke about a “failed attempt at gender-neutral parenting.” Now, I couldn’t find the article when I tried to go back and search for it, but I did find…

The Queer Heterosexual by Tristan Taormino
Once staunch separatists, queer people are flaunting our fluidity when it comes to gender and identity. Whereas in the late ’80s and early ’90s, the dominant LGBT narrative was a coming-out story, today it’s more like “I’m a lesbian in a relationship with a gay-identified bi guy, so what does that make me?” Plus, the...

"Inpenetrable Masculinity" →
genderqueer:
guesswhatsvegan:
Great article exploring the relationship between gender identity and preferred sexual role. Otr talks about being a top until he started identifying as trans, when he started reconsidering what it meant for him to be in the dominant “masculine” role. He talks about the desire for sex to be about “gender rebellion,” wondering how to reconcile that with instances...

genderqueer:
The results, say the researchers, illustrate two ways that the children’s films “construct heterosexuality”: through “depictions of hetero-romantic love as exceptional, powerful, transformative, and magical,” and “depictions of interactions between gendered bodies in which the sexiness of feminine characters is subjected to the gaze of masculine characters.” (…)
The team says the...

CLAUDE CAHUN. Gender ambiguity was central to the work of Claude Cahun. Born Lucie Schwob, she adopted the more androgynous sounding name Claude Cahun and lived in Paris as part of an openly lesbian couple. She moved in surrealist circles, but never actively promoted herself as either writer ...
