Gender is theater. What is your role?

that’s mr. binary gender loving asshat transsexual to you.

The cartoon is a checklist for your gender. I recently learned that only a judge can declare me male, in a court of law. Or so it goes in Colorado.

The fact that I had to jump through so many hoops to change my birth certificate, only to find out that I’m administratively male, but (potentially) female in a legal sense, just pissed me right the F off.

So I created this cartoon, with some obsessive doodling around it. Doodling is good for work and the bus. And I think I channeled some hard core job stress right into this cartoon, too.

The cartoon reads, “Gender: Administrative: Male or Female. Legal: Male or Female. Personal Choice: Fuck Off!

And I dedicate this cartoon to the good folks at Guerilla Travolaka!

A little girl says “Can I have a penis for Christmas?”

Thank you to a regular reader for hipping me to the latest in our evolving dynamic, very off-the-beaten-path terminology.

Rock on.

Whether we like it or not privilege happens to trans men. We didn’t ask for it, but now that we have it, let’s use it to make our worlds better for all women and girls.

For ourselves. For our mothers and sisters and girlfriends and daughters. And our sons and fathers, too.

On my mind of late…if male and female are the answers, what are the questions?
