For Further Reading

We are not a fountain of information. We hope that this project sparked your interest, and that you would like to learn more about gender as a social construct. If you see us around, feel free to talk. In regards to the reach of this project though, this is the end. However, if you're interested in learning more, take Queer Studies! Barring that, reading more about gender and gender variance:
-Diagnosing Difference
--Brilliant movie. Documentary on GID (gender identity disorder) being a psychological disorder in the DSM-IV (diagnostic statistical manual 4). A broad view of being transgender.
-Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity by Mattilda Berstein Sycamore
--Anthology regarding the notion of passing as part of the violence of assimilation.
-That's Revolting!: Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation edited by Mattilda Berstein Sycamore
--A radical book dedicated to resisting the homogenization of queer culture, to activism, and to challenging ideas of class, gender, race, and social change.
-Transgender History by Susan Stryker
--How it really went down.
-Transgeneration
--Movie on four transsexual college kids going through college and going through the transitioning process.

There's more, obviously. There's always more. This is just a beginning.


Or, ways in which YOU (yes, YOU!) can help create a safer place for gender variant people:
-http://www.safe2pee.org
A wiki-style site where anyone can enter in gender neutral and disability accessible bathrooms in the area.
-http://www.rpya.org/Qmunity/
Rainbow Pride Youth Alliance, the one-room queer resource center to serve all of San Bernadino to Riverside. Opportunities to volunteer galore, if you're willing to take a Metro ride out to San Bernadino.
-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_pronoun#Summary
A list of gender pronouns. Clearly this is not an exhaustive list, but it is a start. (Thanks Skye)
-Keep in mind gender pronouns. Ask if you don't know. Don't assume. Make the effort to learn.
