Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoSo I followed novastar’s suggestion for the avatar change- sorry about the quality but it’s really the best I could get it to look on autostraddle for some reason. I’m conscious, as a cisgender person, of not wanting to appropriate imagery which is associated with the trans* community and that’s absolutely not my intention. What is very much my…[Read more]

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoSo does anyone have any favourite genderstraddly/gender-related books? Fiction and non-fiction. Favourites for me have to include: Whipping Girl by Julia Serano, The Nearest Exit May be Behind You by S. Bear Bergman, Gender Outlaw: on men women and the rest of us by Kate Bornstein, Butch is a Noun by S. Bear Bergman (although that is mostly for…[Read more]

FICTION. Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin. Read it, yo.
Also this short story: http://archiveofourown.org/works/138868-
loved left hand of darkness – also that short story rocks. thanks for linking :)

I loved Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinburg, because of its historical and personal significance to the author and the glbt rights movement. It’s a genuine story that I related to a lot, but also has some very sad and angering moments. I think everyone needs to read this book, because as much as it would resonate with gay and trans people I think…[Read more]

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been meaning to read Stone Butch Blues for ages now and this only moves it further up my list- I’ll have to suggest it to my queer reading group :)

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoA new batch of awesome videos were just uploaded to the Reel Grrls channel on YouTube. One of them is all about gender: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dA1awHKzsU&feature=channel_video_title
is cool.-
also this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prGBfYXe9x8 . It’s about gender, but it is definitely hilarious and relevant to your interests.
-
whoops, it’s *not about gender.
-
-
These are both great, thanks! And yeah the second one is really funny and definitely relevant to my interests at least.

Animestraddle 12 years, 4 months agoWhich yuri series do you recommend? I’m a yuri newbie – I know Sailor Moon well and I’ve seen bits of Strawberry Panic and Kashimashi.
-
I haven’t seen Sasameki Koto or Aoi Hana but they’re based on very yuri manga. Maria-sama ga Miteru is a classic but like a lot of yuri series, a lot of it is subtexty and you have to be wearing yuri-googles to see them. Simoun, Blue Drop, MariaHolic, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and MaiHime/Otome also have yuri to them (to the best of my memory). I…[Read more]

Seconding Utena and Maria-Sama. You don’t so much need full on yuri goggles for ’em, more like lightly yuri-tinted glasses.
-
Haha yes, that is more accurate. It’s been so long since I’ve watched them so I’m not too sure about yuri content.

Loveless is a short series that’s mostly Yaoi, but there is a yuri pairing and I really loved it. I also really liked MaiHime.
-
A more recent show that has quite a bit of subtext is Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. I really enjoyed it.
-
Girl Friends by Morinaga Milk is AMAZING. It’s quite girly, and gayngsty, but it’s full of cute girls. You have to read it online, though, since it hasn’t been licensed. makimakimanga.com is where it is~

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoHey everyone, hope your day/evening/night is going well. Just to say if anyone has any suggestions for changing the group avatar feel free to give them in the comments. Personally, I’m getting a little bored of the default right now but let me know what you think. From my own perspective I’d like to avoid anything that suggests the…[Read more]
