Newsweek features the "Mystery of Gender"

In the May 21 issue, Newsweek highlights the no-longer-very-private world of trans. Although not particularly analytic or profound, I am happy to see issues of gender being circulated in the media and served front-page to the public.

I haven't picked up this issue yet, but I'll be sure to do so. The trans issue is baffling for me, because it challenges our notions of gender, sex, anatomy, and socialization on such a profound level - and to tell the truth I haven't decided quite how I feel about the issue yet. But I find it incredibly interesting and am open to new insights... even if the feature isn't stellar, thanks for the heads up!

I always think of it like this: pants, lipstick and shoes are all human inventions. So anyone should be free to pick anything.
