Before I hit the hay, I checked the comments over at Beyond Masculinity. A transgender woman from the Philippines left this very sweet comment on my essay, "The Making of a Southern Faggot."
beautiful essay.
I'm an MTF transsexual, and I live in the Philippines, so I can't say that I identify 100% with the experiences that you'e described. Still, the article is touching, and it is scarily illuminating: much of the gay culture that I've come into contact with seems all to eager to shun minorities within the subgroup that are "embarassing" or "contrary to the cause".
I loved it, keep up the good work : )
:) Aww. Thanks "Proud Mary"!
Also, the editor of Q Magazine in Australia sent me a tear sheet proof for their Beyond Masculinity shout-out in their upcoming July issue. Yay! Here's a lil' screen shot. I'll post a link when it's officially up! Thanks to Brett and everyone over at Q Magazine for helping spread the word!
