Recommendation: I Hate My Job


Someone recommends…

I Hate My Job
Music Video

Wonderfully whimsical men dancing in heels is always good. And those legs!

Editor’s note: While this video was recommended by a reader mainly for the visuals, one of the lines in the lyrics seems to be anti-trans*.

Recommendation: The work of Andy Karol


Lee recommends…

Two portraits from “Eden: Expressions in Gender” photographed by Andy Karol, of two individuals, both POC, who identify on the gender spectrum as variant or fluid. Kokumo, on the left, is standing in a river, with the afro cut looking like a halo, closely holding water plants almost looking like a net, and eyes closed head towards the sky. Kia, on the right, is bald-shaven, with a simple circular ring in each ear, and is almost hidden between grass, with just the head emerging, staring into the camera with a piercing, powerful look.

The work of Andy Karol
A portrait project

This project lives through me. It is a concept, a bridge, a running topic, a challenge, and many other things. The images haunt, linger, inspire, incite, and provoke. I want people to understand the ability to strip down our gender to our inner selves and this is why nudity is used. The classic play on the Biblical ‘Eden’ reaches this importance. Gender spills out of us in uncontrollable ways and when we realize this then the real play begins. The quality of this work is based on years of experience and passion.

Respect


Someone wrote…

I’m transitioning from female to male, but I’m extremely femme and androgynous. So many people, including those in the trans community, have tried to discredit my identity. At first I was angry, but now I feel bad for them.

I love who I am — it’s sad they can’t respect that.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Profile: Toby Amber


Toby

You can call me… Toby Amber.

I identify as… a changeable combination of outer maleness and inner femaleness, modulated by fickle but cornucopias neurochemistry.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I don’t mind. It depends on what people think sounds right considering what I’m wearing at the time. In boolean situations it’d be “she.”

I’m attracted to… clever, sensible and sane bisexual females.

When people talk about me, I want them to… say “I’m so glad Amber has finally appeared!” Or to realise that their problem with me is inversely proportional to my caring about it.

I want people to understand… that gender is socially constructed, and thus demonstrably distorted: biology shows that the possible combinations and interactions of neurology and physiology far exceed the limits of normative social control – through taboo, purity, and other concepts born of fear and ignorance – whose barbaric cultural traditions are our unfortunate but not inevitable inheritance.

About Toby Amber
Artist, eccentric, and secretly busy first-novelist. Lately come out to family and colleagues as transgender (no intention to change bodily, but social transformation means everything to me, I’m learning a new personality), enabled by the acquisition of wigs, clothes that fit me and rebuilt self-respect after many years spent wandering lost.

More complex


Someone wrote…

I consider myself to be androgynous and pansexual and it’s saddening how few understand what this means. I’m not promiscuous or confused or a sex addict. I just don’t believe in binaries. People are more complex than two checkboxes and it doesn’t suit humanity to try to place each other under these constraints.

I fall in love with people for their personalities, their intelligence, their worldviews. What they have between their legs should not be a defining deal breaker if you genuinely love someone, and that, is why I am this way.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Self realisation


Submitted by Shyam/Nadika, the model and photographer.

“Taken around the time when I finally realized I was going so far away from my goal of transitioning. Also, I think this is where I look the most feminine. Or something less masculine.”

Profile: Terry / Terri


Terry

You can call me… Terry or Terri.

I identify as… a guy most of the time.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … “he” until you know me.

I’m attracted to… transgender people of intelligence and wit.

When people talk about me, I want them to… say what they really feel.

I want people to understand… I want people to understand, not judge.

Every strand


Someone wrote…

I’d like to be loud about my queerness, I’d like for it to show through every strand of hair, garment, posture, without a doubt. I’d like to be read as androgyne. But right now it’s mostly silence, forgery and confusion.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
