What it’s like to end the night as a showgirl
What it’s like to end the night as a showgirl Finish your show Drive home buzzed or drunk Stumble into your shared home, trying to be quiet even though you’re in a ridiculous outfit, carrying an overfilled purse, a giant bag of costumes, your 4″-6″ heels, the remains of some Jack-n-the-Box drivethru and various other…
Preaching OUTSIDE the Choir
I get TONS of email… Metric tons. Thank God it’s not paper mail, or my correspondents would be responsible for the deforestation of a large chunk of rainforest. Most of it is routine work stuff, but there are lots of young trans and gay people looking for support and advice, and lots of people my…

“It’s Go-Go, It Ain’t Cry-Cry”
So as someone who has been a showgirl in gay and gay-friendly bars since 1994 (Jeezus, 15 years!!!), I have met and worked with TONS of Go-Go Boys.

Hey kids, the issue will be off the stands soon, if not already, but here’s the lovely photo they took of me and the awesome Andrea Sperling for 2008′s OUT 100 list:
Les and Leith: Trans Blogger Couple
Les and Leith are a super-sweet trans couple who blog for Trannystar Galactica, and Leith (as Riftgirl) has lots of funny comedy videos as well. This is a recent post about s-e-x, a topic I rarely broach because it usually just goes downhill fast when chasers, pervs and creeps latch on and get gross with…

The Election: Obama Wins, and The Veil is Ripped Away From How Outsiders See Us
Well, if I had any illusions that most of the same people who supported Obama also viewed gay and lesbian people as equal human beings, those illusions are very much dead now. As I mentioned in the Psychology Today piece I wrote on trans people and politics the day before the election, it has become…

Calpernia:
Happy belated 4th! And I love that you made a trip down this way to Alabama. (I’m in the most northern city…right below the TN line!) The next time you’re in this neck of the woods, drop me a line! We’ll have a few friends over and put some meat on the grill, girlfriend!
Bunches of hugs…
