We’re glad to have you back where you belong, WALL•E!

By smartyboots • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: Trans Sexuality, pop culture

Check out Kate Bornstein’s great post on robots and gender in WALL•E.
I’m completely smitten with WALL•E, this summer’s Pixar/Disney offering. But the last thing I expected to see in my friendly, heterosexual upper east side Manhattan neighborhood movie theater was a feature length cartoon about a pair of lesbian robots who fall madly in love [...]



Is this sex test graded on the curve?

By smartyboots • Aug 5th, 2008 • Category: In the News, Trans Sexuality, science

Oh boy! It’s time for the Olympics again – I think of it as a time of gratitude. Usually I take this time to reflect on how grateful I am that San Francisco didn’t get chosen as the site for the Olympics, because I like to keep my daily commute to under three hours each [...]



Contribute YOUR Trans story to a Play… and a Book

By Kuono • May 28th, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, Sex Positivity, Trans Sexuality

Trans visibility is rising. Just recently I was sent two different messages from very different people deeply connected in trans activism. They’re looking for submissions from people who want to include their stories. One is a playwrite, the other, editing a book. Please pass this info along to anyone you think may be interested. And [...]



The ‘Trans Body’ and a peek at Crash Pad Series Volume 2: Unlocked

By Kuono • May 22nd, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, Porn, Trans Sexuality, video clips

As a ROYAL fan (I think I am beyond fan) of queer-owned and operated porn company Pink & White Productions, I’m very excited about the next DVD release from some of the episodes from season two of their one-of-a-kind queer (dyke/trans) website, CrashPadSeries.com.
For folks who like their lesbian sex real, and their queers really diverse, [...]



The Rise of Trans Male Porn

By Kuono • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: POC, Porn, Trans Sexuality

“It’s queer, genderfucking, community-based, and political.” Says sexpert Tristan Taormino in her Village Voice article The New Wave of Trans Cinema.
Taormino writes of two of the newest trans-focused DVDs Couch Surfers by Trannywood Pictures and Trans Entities: The Nasty Love of Papi and Wil, a docu-porn by Morty Diamond. Her article is well-written and [...]



Pregnant Men? Well, It’s About Time!

By Dr. Carol Queen • Apr 6th, 2008 • Category: In the News, Trans Sexuality

I guess this week’s sex-and-culture news has Oprah very excited: a fella is going to have a baby. I can’t keep up with Oprah, personally, so it falls to the Yahoo home page with the news bites on it to inform me of anything inevitable she does: bitch out a shady “memoirist,” cry when girls [...]



Continuing Education

Oh internet, is there nothing you can’t do? You bring me funny cat pictures and restaurant recommendations, allow me to download old Kelly Hogan albums, and now you offer me the opportunity to get schooled by Calpernia Addams, who is apparently on the tv machine!

No, seriously, you need this. If you haven’t been around [...]

Give me an E – N – D – A … and Puhlease with a “T” !!!

By Kuono • Oct 22nd, 2007 • Category: In the News, Politics, Trans Sexuality

Gotta love wikipedia. If you’ve been following the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), proposed by US fed law that prohibits discrimination against all employees on the basis of sexual orientation, you know that the current debate is whether or not to include gender identity within the bill.
Basically, the deal is that there’s two versions of the [...]



Naked on the Internet

By Kuono • Aug 2nd, 2007 • Category: Books & Videos, Technology, Trans Sexuality

By Kuono.
Last night I finished reading Audacia Ray’s newest publication Naked on the Internet: Hookups, Downloads, and Cashing in on Internet Sexploration. Audacia can be found online at Waking Vixen Productions. (We don’t sell the book at Good Vibes so I recommend purchasing it from Last Gasp Press which also published some other great reads [...]



Controversial Trans-Fans Like Margaret Cho

By Dr. Carol Queen • Jul 17th, 2007 • Category: Trans Sexuality

By Dr. Carol QueenOh dear… when allies do not feel the alliance, it is so sad. I think this is an ongoing issue with progressives, but that’s not what I’m thinking about today. Today it’s trannies and tranny-chasers, transfolk and transfans, and sex (or really people’s reactions to sex) making [...]
