That's what I thought too when I saw this - but then I started thinking about how interesting it is that what was perceived as masculine back then, could read as as gender-variant to us now, & how gender norms change over time. It makes me wonder what the epitomes of masculinity & femininity will look like in another couple hundred years, or if they'll even exist at all.

My school usually has a "Dress Like Someone Else Day" during Spirit Week, which often leads to gender-bending. All schools should have events like this - they're so much fun!

Wow. It's interesting that Dita, one of the finest specimens of pure oozing feminity (IMHO), can pull off the gentlemanly look so well.

Yay! Xelia! I love her! She's usually pretty femme, but it should be noted that some of her girlfriends have been thoroughly androgylicious.

Maybe you need to immerse yourself in the fashion of other males who play with gender. I highly recommend Jasper's blog - http://jasperswardrobe.wordpress.com

I agree with you that society's homophobia towards males specifically is still far more horrifying than it is towards females. In my personal experience, I've known about fifteen bisexual females & only one bisexual male, which leads me to question whether women do have an inborn sexual fluidity, or whether it's just societal male-directed homophobia. Maybe it's both. I really hope the scientific community conducts more studies on this subject in the future.

I agree with you about the whole "gay boy personality" thing - I'm seeing that in a lot of the profiles we get lately, & as the curator, part of me wants to edit that out but I also don't want to remove the way each person labels or sees themself. It almost seems like the within-community equivalent of saying something like "that's so gay" - it's very ubiquitous but people don't seem to realize that it could be construed as offensive. I'm not totally sure how to deal with it..

That just made me cry. I am so amazed & thrilled that gender variance is slowly working its way towards being regularly portrayed in mass mainstream media.

I get this - as a person living very comfortably within my assigned gender, I sometimes feel like I don't have a place in the genderqueer community, despite the fact that many of my friends are GQ & I'm very interested in the subject. I think the most important thing, when it comes to avoiding foot-in-mouth disease, is asking people if you're unsure about anything. Ask them what pronouns they prefer, what labels they use, when they first knew they were genderqueer, etc. Most people will be happy you asked.
