I would like to recommend an interesting book that I read last year and really need to read again. It’s called “Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on sexism and the scapegoating of Femininity” and it’s an excellent examination of the world that we live in and the intricate web of gender politics that interconnects so much of it.
-
Yes! Yes I am so seriously seconding this book recommendation. I haven’t read it in in full for a while but it was the first book I ever read which really dealt with gender, trans* issues and feminism and I have a lot of affection in my heart for it for that reason. I’d also say that as I remember it the scope of the book- in particular the way…[Read more]

Thirded! An absolutely wonderful book, and so brilliant for understanding how sexism, homophobia and transphobia all link into one horrible ball of bigotry.

I’m in TC, and it’s boooooring. I’m moving to Grand Rapids next spring, maybe that’ll be somewhat more exciting.
-
Holla, TC! But odds are we’ve dated the same person or have some other similar awkward connectedness. :/
-
I doubt it, I’m bi and have only dated 2 guys since I moved here 8 years ago. Apparently I don’t know where to pick up chicks. :V
-
I’m sorry, I sometimes forget that tone does not translate well on the internetz. I meant it mostly fecetiously because TC is so small and boring, etc, etc. And I don’t know where to pick up chicks either, I think all of the queer ladies up here are paired up and spending their nights at home watching Grey’s Anatomy.
-
Haha it’s cool, I figured you meant that as well. :)

Grand Rapids is probably slightly more exciting than TC, but more conservative too :(
-
Everyone keeps saying that, but TC only *looks* liberal from the outside. I worked at a food co-op that had some of the most sexist, racist and homophobic employees I’ve ever met (and I worked at a restaurant for 5 years before that, so that says something :p). I also volunteered w the Dems last election cycle and they lost to Republican…[Read more]

I concur, TC may be liberal in comparison to the terrifying Michigan Militia Nascar republicans that populate the surrounding 200 miles but that doesn’t make it a good place to be.

I live in TC!

Yay! Did you see all the hot air balloons by the Bay today? Pretty rad B)
-
Yes I did see them. Some of them flew right over my work. And I’m going downtown to watch the launch and return glow tonight. I hope to ride an air balloon one of these days.
