- Why Julián chose to focus on a closeted travesti in his new novel
- Creating intergenerational trans friendships and navigating inevitable conflict
- Protesting in Bogotá and navigating Colombian gender bureaucracy
- Untranslatable Spanglish, transsexual grammar, travesti poetics, and the beautiful transfemme tradition of lying-i-mean-myth-making :)
- Plus: Alison Bechdel vs Carson Kressley in Provincetown?!
This Week in Gender: We hear from a friend and supporter of Amber Kim.
