Reading Updates and Summer Plans

Since last posting I've read the following:

Genderqueer (great great book)

The Color Purple, Alice Walker (just as awesome as everyone says it is!)

Peninsula of Lies: A True Story of Mysterious Birth and Taboo Love, Edward Ball (This was horrible, it was written by a cissexual white straight male who while up to speed on trans and intersex terminology doesn't give his subject the benefit of letting her be her identity hunting for the "truth" of her sex. Kinda like what All S/he Wanted did to Brandon Teena.)

Labor of Love, Thomas Beatie (this was good also. I prefer hearing transmen talk about their own histories rather then read whatever fucked up stuff the media throws out about them.)

In regards to Summer plans, besides working on the L M Dillon Memoir, I just applied to intern for 8 weeks in the lower ninth ward of New Orleans working on rebuilding homes and recovery counseling. We'll see if it pans out...but I'm really excited about the prospect!

Looking forward to graduation, with the appropriate nostalgia of course (hey, it is me!).
