Sex, sexuality, and surgery
By Rebecca, December 12, 2011 1:34 pm
No one looks like they're enjoying this situation, to be honest
In Which A Question Is Asked
What does it mean to be a sexual trans person? A sexual trans woman?
Sidenote: I’m looking for my copy of Fucking Trans Women, an awesome e-zine available at http://fuckingtranswomen.com/. I know I bought and downloaded it, but am having trouble finding it. I emailed the site owners, tho, and hopefully they’ll be willing to send me another copy. At the very worst, I can spare another $5 for their great project.
Back on topic, I think being trans and sexual is tough for me (gonna try to use ‘I’ statements in this post, and not make generalizations) in part due to the huge variety of mixed messages I’ve received over the last 27 years. I’m sure I’m missing some categories, but here’s what I’ve come up with:
- Messages about male sexuality, even though I didn’t identify as male
- Messages about female sexuality, which I picked up even though I wasn’t yet presenting as female
- Messages about heterosexual sexuality, mainly from when I was presenting as a straight male
- Messages about queer sexuality, both before and after I came out
- Messages about specifically lesbian sexuality, again from both before and after I came out
- And last-but-never-least, messages about specifically trans sexuality, limited primarily to ‘chicks with dicks’ and ‘she-male’ porn

Israeli Aparthied?
By Rebecca, May 27, 2011 4:02 pm
That’s right, I’m wading back into Israel. Not satisfied with my recent post about Israel, Obama’s speech, and the 1967 borders/lines/whatever, an article I saw in my Google News feed caught my eye. The Sacramento Bee disappointingly reprinted a total fluff piece entitled “New York LGBT Center Taking Sides of Anti Semites.” The subtitle is “Michael Lucas Organizes Boycott,” and the piece is by none other than one Michael Lucas. Way to be classy. I’m not linking to the piece, since it’s total propaganda, but it did make me really curious about the organization being referenced, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid. And, more broadly, is Israel supporting a state of apartheid?
(For the record, I do think this discussion and disagreement is newsworthy, I just think it’s really poor reporting to reprint a biased self-written press release supporting a specific position. So I’m not opposed to the Sacramento Bee reporting something, just on how they chose to report.)

Ba(r/t) Mitzvah – Movement Piece
By Rebecca, July 16, 2010 10:38 am
This is a movement piece based on the emotional experience of my Bar Mitzvah. The prompt from my choreographer was to find and distill specific moments from pre/mid/post Bar Mitzvah, and essentialize them into movement phrases. Enjoy!
