Trying this again, since I'm having some difficulties posting at the moment. :-P
First off, we have: Pleasure Activism Australia - a sex-positive activist group in, you guessed it, Australia. Go have a look. :-)
Gender_Euphoria (on the Transgender LJ comm.) links to this:
When a Staffer Switches Genders, on work with transitioning employees and co-workers. Decent, although Gender_Euphoria points out that some of the wording (e.g.: most employers will never work with a trangendered person) ain't necessarily so. Just FYI.
From Feministing:
A Letter to My Non-Surivor Friends: An incest survivor writes an open letter talking abotu what she can't yet say in person but would like to. YMMV, clearly, since this is one person's experience, but it's a place to start.
AND
Sojurner Truth Honoured. The article puts this in historical perspective. Go, read.
From Shakesville:
Judd Apatow "Man-Child" Movies -- Or: Blaming Eve for Adam's Fall from Eden (Pop Culture Edition). No wonder those damn things are so successful. They're retelling a significant peice of Dominant Religion Mythology in 21st-century slang. Look at that.
From Pizza Diavola:
Dating As a Feminist: Consent and Sex, and why it's Not That Hard.
From Pandagon:
On the Origin of Morality: This is REALLY interesting. It talks about the development of ones own moral compass and how religious doctrine isn't where it comes from (and may, in fact, be detrimental). Intriguing! :-D
AND
You Know That Classic Anti-Choice Fetus Picture? It was staged. Which, okay, yes. No-brainer. None the less, go read. :-)
From the states, we have:
On Anti-Choice Conspiracy Theorists and Swine Flue... Seriously??? (You have to scroll down past quite a bit of white space to get to the article. I have no idea why, though). How very, very bizzarre. o.O
From TransGriot we have:
A discussion of TransGeneration, a documentary about transgendered highschool students,
AND
Fighting Back Against Media Smears of Transgendered People,
AND
Lateisha Green's Murderer Goes on Trial on June 11th, 2009 -- Because it's never only just one. :-(
From The Curvature:
In Support of GENDA.
From Gender Goggles:
The Little Brown Dress Project -- On gender performance, femininity and the contents of one's wardrobe.
Granted, I'm linking to this rather less for the article itself than for the following quotation:
"[Let's] stop agreeing that the best way for women (in particular) to “express themselves” is by purchasing new wardrobe items and putting together daily outfits. [...]
(Discuss!)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand:
MAYWORKS Festival of Working People and the Arts starts this week!
April 29th is the Words Work poetry reading at CUBE Gallery in Hintonburg.
April 29th is *also* the annual Taste For Life AIDS Fundraiser in Ontario. (Possibly also elsewhere in Canada?)
See what Rick Mercer has to say about it. :-D
Anyone want to join me at Canvas (65 Holland @ Armstrong) for dinner and then go hear some poetry? :-D
