“You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and...”
– Ryan Gosling, in a letter protesting the NC-17 rating of ‘Blue Valentine’. The rating was based on one consensual sex scene, in which he performs cunnilingus on Michelle Williams. (via agarfields)

Reading this MWF SEEKING BFF book
And I like it but also groan as every other page is essentializing binary gender riles trying to explain why women need friends (and what kind of friends) in ways more than/different than men. And while all of the authors research may be spot on, her voice doesn’t have the gravitas to make me take her seriously as a gender theorist - which is a line I feel like she’s trying to walk 25%...

From Jo Nesbo's REDBREAST.
Aune: Clothes are one of the strongest signals we transmit. Tweed signals masculinity and confidence.
Harry: And the bow-tie?
Aune: Intellectual frivolity and arrogance. Gravity with a touch of self-irony, if you like. More than enough to impress second-rate colleagues it seems.

Or maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have Siri. →
If asked - I’m not. WP7 has voice recognition that mostly gets the job done. And I hear that Siri is amazing and cures cancer and also that she’s really not that great. I also realize Apple may have done a better job first - which counts for a lot in the market - but I don’t think other phones, of any brand/carrier, won’t beef up their own voice recognition.
Siri actually...

Transplant to the Valley
I’ve been living in Silicon Valley for the last two weeks and will be here for another two. So far I’ve noticed two things that won’t go away:
Everyone here has an iPhone (by “here” I really do mean the places I go within Mountain View/Palo Alto - when I’m in San Francisco I see much more variety). I know that’s not revelatory or anything. Everyone...

Spirit Month at x+y →
(this should have posted a week ago)
Instead of cuts, we have curves, hips, and waists. This is a hard reality friends, but having delivered this dose of realism, here’s the upshot: you have beautiful, resilient bodies, and they are waiting - practically begging and pleading - for you to love them just the way they are.
- Josh Klipp, at Original Plumbing.
I have memories of being a...

Tomboy →
The video below is literally all I’ve seen of this movie, so I can’t say anything for certainty or even really trust that it’s not gross, but from these 30 seconds I can say that this was me.

“This was a very, very important task. Just the title is a fundamental change —...”
– Eli Coleman, chair of the WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) revision committee, which just released Version 7 of the Standards of Care, which has long needed an update.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
Some key revisions:
• Psychotherapy is no longer a requirement to receive...

The Elephant in the Room →
There’s something I’ve been wanting to broach on this blog ever since I started it. But never really knew how to bring up or talk about: cissexism. Which may be a new word for you. To not really…

Where do I find inspiration for going clothes shopping with my brother?!
I had hoped tumblr would help me out but i’m not having much luck! Help!?!?

– George Carlin
(Not usually a George Carlin fan, but I always like tearing apart the most common things we do and re-amaze myself. Been doing that a lot what with the healing going on these last couple weeks.)

Fall Books Preview from The Daily Beast →
I’ve been getting so wrapped up in what clothes to buy for fall, I haven’t had a chance to get wrapped up in what books to buy: three of my all-time favorite authors coming out with new books? one of which hasn’t had a release in at least five years? ok, I’ll bite.

Post-Op Disclosure →
I’m not sure I have a lot to wax poetic about re: post-op lifestyle. I did do some videos that I plan on uploading, because there is a dearth of material out there for Dr. Mangubat and given that I…

Please lend a helping hand. →
iragray:
This link leads to my top surgery Chip In page. I’m asking that whoever can please donate $1. I don’t have much money, but I know I could give someone a buck. So, that’s all I am asking for. Many of you have helped me so much, and I am so appreciative (and I hope that I help many of you in return). I wish I could express how much I need this without it turning into a sob story. If you...
