[rubydawn1]

I loved your book Stone Butch Blues.I loved the letter at the beginning.Wondering did you ever do a follow up of what happened to some of your friends after that.That book is one of the few books i save i love it so much.

thank you- for all.

[transgenderwarrior]

thank you, for raising pronouns!

[elebovici]

Since language is very discriminating on the level of genders, why choose the feminine, though?

[transgenderwarrior]

I've written a lot about the pronouns I use: see below. But I want to restate here, as we did @ my 60th birthday, that none of the pronouns that others use for me are "wrong."

[elebovici]

why does the link use the feminine pronoum "her"? Isn't that a bit akward?

[transgenderwarrior]

Why awkward? For more info on pronouns, see the intro to "Trans Liberation" entitled "We are all works in progress."
