Recommendation: Beauty Queens


Someone recommends…

The story begins as a simple one, a plane full of contestants in the Miss Teen Dream beauty pageant crashlands on a seemingly deserted island. The girls must now learn to survive with each other while either holding on to the competition or building a community. Things get more complicated as the girls explore themselves (and each other) in the context of their new found freedom.

The enchanting story is set to a background of satirical footnotes, “commercial breaks,” and sponsor’s notes. The book, like everything else in the dystopic society the girls left, is sponsored by The Corporation.

An overall great read from an overall great author.

Profile: Aero


You can call me… Aero.

I identify as… a Transman
a gay Twink
metrosexual even though I’m actually gay
demisexual
omiromantic – because I love Vulcans
awesome

As far as third-person pronouns go, … masculine, he, him, his and sir.
Oh yeah, and Captain works as well.

I’m attracted to… men, twinks, and nerdy boys, surprisingly dyke-y lesbians, and Vulcans.

When people talk about me, I want them to… know I can hear them, realize I have feelings, think past my gender identity, and realize my skills and personality.

I want people to understand… it’s cool to ask me questions, but it’s not cool to discriminate or judge me because of my appearance, gender identity and expression, and sexual orientation. These don’t affect others in any way. I am still a productive member of society.

Gender is only Garb deep


Submitted by Izzy Ahee aka Hollis Taylor, the model.

“Gender is only a combination of garb. As a Drag King I see this as fact. Men walk into the back door of the club and a Lady walks out onto the stage. When I walk in as a woman, I am a womyn. When I walk out on stage, I embody fabulous men! NO I won’t choose a gender!”

Gender Outlaw


Submitted by Hollis Taylor, the model.

“Hollis Taylor is a Drag King, but does not want to be a man. Gender is an outward expression of how I feel on the inside at that moment. I am not static, I change and so does my gender.”

Bowties are cool


Someone wrote…

So today I’ve managed to have my ONE perfect Doctor Who moment. I did not use my hair straightener today for the first time since three years, and I realized (I really had forgotten somehow) that I have the perfect Patrick Trouhgton-Doctor hair. And then I got my 10th Doctor sonic screwdriver in my mail. So I put on my bowtie and 11th Doctor jacket. Made me feel so masculine and extremely happy, and of course very cool.

Leaving out those boobs and hips that are so totally wrong on my body, I felt authentic and confident in my skin with this style.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Recommendation: True Colors


Emmett recommends…

True Colors
National LGBTQQIAA youth conference

Have you ever felt alone? Like you are the only one who will ever understand how you’re feeling? Well, you aren’t. And True Colors can show you that. The annual True Colors conference takes place in the University of Connecticut, Storrs, this year March 21 & 22. It is a truly amazing experience for anyone of any age, and any gender (or lack thereof). Four years ago, it helped me realize I was queer, and find a label for what I was feeling. Now it is helping me realize my feelings on gender. It is a wonderful educational resource, not only for young people, but for families. There are workshops on everything from safe sex and gender neutral sex education, to understanding LGBTQQIAA terminology, to salsa dancing. The conference experience can be whatever you want it to be, but one thing I promise you is that it will be fun, life-changing, and liberating.

Agender


Someone wrote…

When I identified as a trans man, I used to worry and stress out about whether or not I was “passing”, and trans men I knew never wasted an opportunity to tell me I wasn’t “passing” and I wasn’t “manly enough”. Now that I identify as Agender, it feels like the word “passing” doesn’t apply to my life anymore. As far as I know, there are no rules and tips for “passing” as genderless! (if there are any rules, let me know.. so I can ignore them)
As an Agender person, I feel free to express myself however I want, without worrying about the gender police issuing me a citation for not being “manly enough”.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
