Twin Cities Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoSO it looks like we’ll all be voting on whether or not our state’s constitution should discriminate against gay people. Lameshit. I am definitely going to work hard against this stupid amendment.

I know =( it was super close in the house, too! 70-62, we even convinced 4 Repubs to vote no (although 2 Dems voted yes =/ wtf). Hopefully we can get our shit together and convince everyone that this is a terrible idea/really crappy thing to do/big waste of time anyway.

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 5 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]

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 :)

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoI just finished reading “The History of White People” by Nell Irvin Painter (I think I saw it recommended on here) and it was really interesting. I’m working on “Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme” now and really enjoying it so far.

Whipping Girl is next on my list, I’ll hopefully be starting it this weekend

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoI love Nalo Hopkinson! She’s a scifi writer whose stories are based in Caribbean culture, which is an element I really haven’t seen incorporated into scifi before. I read her first book ‘Brown Girl in the Ring’ and was really excited about it. So I went out and found another of her books, ‘Midnight Robber,’ and I just started it today. So…[Read more]

I think I need to read these all. (Assuming I can even find them here in the Antipodes :P)
-
If you can find them, you should definitely give them a try! Now that I’m thinking about it, I vaguely recall reading and liking another one of her books several years ago. It was called something like “The Salt Roads” or maybe just “Salt Roads” and it had time travel. So she’s got something for any scifi preference!

I read Brown Girl in the Ring! I’d forgotten it, I ‘m going to have to find some other stuff by her, because it was an AWESOME book.

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 5 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.
