Guys, guys, guys!

I'm famous. Well, more like I bought myself some fame from a cool webcomic that my friends recently introduced me to, Poly in Pictures (hi PiP visitors! sorry my site's so neglected and cobwebby). (And now the recursive linking circle is complete.)

Because it's not a proper webcomic post without an example:

It Gets Better (music video)

quote of the day

“Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots because it’s okay to be a boy; for girls it’s like promotion. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, according to you, because secretly you believe that BEING A GIRL IS DEGRADING.“

- Ian McEwan, The Cement Garden (since quoted in a slightly more high-profile context)

quote of the day

"Trying to describe the gender spectrum using only 'man' & 'woman' is like trying to describe the color wheel using only 'red' & 'blue'"

- Genderfork

'deep' thought of the day

'

gender' is a concept that doesn't exist in my mental world - it's a translation layer wedged between my brain and the outside world

I'm really hopeful to see how this turns out...
