nobody passes
If anyone wants to get me a Christmas present, you really couldn’t go wrong with this. Edited by Mattilda (Matt Bernstein Sycamore), with contributions from the excellent Dean Spade, film-maker and sex advice columnist Amy Andre, Irina Contreras, Benjamin Shepard, Kirk Read and various other beautiful writers.
And speaking of not passing, the editor of Nobody Passes, Mattilda has a gorgeous new blog right here. Go read.
And photos from the Tranny Awards are up on my flickr site. What a lovely and tiring day it’s been.
that book looks super.

Yeah, I reckon it will be. Mattilda’s other books are well worth checking out too: I haven’t read any of hir fiction/memoir works, but “That’s Revolting” is pretty amazing.

As a person of color born more than 60 years ago, I guess I I shy away from challenges that are groundbreaking in their conception. ‘Genderqueer’, ‘femme’, ‘butch’, or ‘faggots’ all appear to me to be superficial, in that aren’t we all ‘male’, or ‘female’, because we are part of both parents? Whether conceived in a ‘dish’, or the ‘womb’, as a living body we are born of ‘man’, ‘conceived’ in, and ‘borne’ from woman. Perhaps the later generation has passed me by, it seems we are trying to create something where nothing exists.
