This is a video that I made about my experience with my recent name change, and my own personal feelings on being non-binary. Posting it was kind of terrifying, but I’m so glad I did!

Photo reposted via nice skirt, bro:
“Swedish train drivers are wearing skirts to combat the summer heat after they were forbidden to wear shorts. Go swedes!”
…and the train company “has given its blessing for employees to wear skirts”. Watch the BBC news report on this story!

Eurovision 2012 has been and gone, but while clicking around the videos I came across this — which was only narrowly beaten to being Austria’s entry for 2012.
Conchita Wurst’s blend of masculine and feminine presentation is particularly interesting, and they are adored by the Austrian public. Worth a look!
Sistah Sinema screens movies featuring queer women of color at events in Seattle, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Portland. Their indiegogo campaign was a success! They are currently working with Busk films to make queer cinema featuring women of color available online.

Starlight was a delightfully Queer character in the 80’s cartoon series Rainbow Brite. I had a picture of him on my Trapperkeeper and once got in load of trouble for telling my teacher I was his boyfriend.

This is one of the coolest YouTube videos I’ve ever come across – I don’t know who this guy is, but he sums up so many of the odd, funny, awkward, self-contradicting sensation and thoughts that result from having a body that doesn’t match one’s identity but loving that body anyway. I’m genderqueer, not trans, but I still find what he has to say about what it’s like to have a vagina to be hilarious, heartening, and thought-provoking. I hope it brightens some other people’s days as much as it brightened mine.

Just a poem about drag kings and women and uncomfortable audiences. About how identities are shifting and how people tend to assume they aren’t and won’t admit they are a little attracted to nonconformity. This one’s a bit dark, but I thought it made a few good points.

A very interesting movie about an intersexed 15 year old.
From Netflix.com:
“Inés Efron plays Alex, an intersexed 15-year-old, in this compelling tale. Though she’s living as a girl, Alex and her family begin to wonder whether she’s emotionally a boy when another teenager’s sexual advances bring the issue to a head. As Alex faces a final decision regarding her gender, she meets both hostility and compassion.”

this has really left me speechless, so there isn’t much that i can say. it put me through the full spectrum of emotions in just over two minutes. i really don’t even know how i feel right now but i do know that more people have to see this. it is beautiful, pure and simple.

Many people have a common misconception of how femininity and masculinity are linked to sexuality. Just because I may be homosexual does not mean that I fit the media’s mass marketed version of the gay male. We all face these misconceptions and I think they need to be put to rest. I speak about this through the language that comes most natural to me, art.

A kick-ass queer who knows what it’s all about.
Woolfist recommends…
It’s an amazing film that portrays the idiocy of a society that celebrates the birth of boys but loathes the birth of girls.
The action takes place at the end of the 19th century in a village near the Adriatic sea. One family, ‘doomed’ with all female children, decides to raise one of the girls as a boy. Towards the end, the film reveals some interesting facts about the life in this village.

Everybody likes musicals, everybody likes laughing, everybody likes Harry Potter.
I think genderfork is also probably especially theatre-inclined, and some of the roles are deliciously genderbending.

Red has some very interesting perspectives on gender, and goes about it in a deliciously bizarre way much of the time. This video in particular (Gender Fail) capture’s a lot of what I think they’re about.

“There’s a man in the woman’s room–NOT” is a song for the gender police. It’s simple and adorable!
