		<title>Craigslist Adult Services Censored by Government</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over this last weekend, those who relied upon Cragslist adult services got a rude awakening.  Without any warning, and with no official statement yet, Craigslist removed the adult services section from all US sites and replaced it with a small censored image.
One friend of mine was extremely startled, as she relies on the ad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open Letter to The Advocate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I received an apology from Christopher Harrity, Manager of Online Production, apologizing for misidentifying my photo as Briana Freeman.  It&#8217;s quite clear that it was not malicious, but simply a matter of not paying close enough attention while google image searching.  He was &#8220;horrified&#8221; to think that his mistake caused me strife, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Advocate Thinks I&#8217;m Brianna Freeman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week a story a story went around the blogosphere of Brianna Freeman, a 45 year old trans woman in Maine, who was suing Denny&#8217;s after a manager refused to let her use the restroom.  The Advocate ran the story last Friday and &#8211; apparently figuring that one trans woman&#8217;s picture was as good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people pointed out that the video cut out from my kenote speech about 15 min from the end.  Well, I checked it out and it looks like there was an error while uploading it.  I&#8217;ve re-uploaded it, and verified that it&#8217;s the size it should be.  Enjoy the last 15 minutes.

		<title>Trans Women Claiming Sexual Agency: Who&#8217;s Standing in the Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That was the title of my keynote speech at the Beyond Patriarchy conference a week and a half ago.  I recorded it and did a little bit of editing to include my powerpoint slides and subtitles for the inaudible questions from the audience.
Anyway, since it&#8217;s a speech and not a performance or a reading, [...]]]></description>

		<title>NSFW: Representing Trans Women in Queer/Feminist Porn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I wrote about my film Doing it Ourselves: The Trans Women Porn Project as an attempt to represent trans women engaged in sexuality the way they wanted to be represented as opposed to what typically lines the shelves of &#8220;tranny porn&#8221; and also to encourage trans women&#8217;s inclusion in more alternative, feminist, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poly Households Can Be Reported in the Census</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That’s right.  There’s been minimal information on this topic.  I’ve asked the folks at Our Families Count, who could not answer if such a thing would be possible.  I’ve googled polyamory and census only to come up with a couple of people under the impression that being poly is not something that [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve heard of administrators or parents complaining when a trans speaker talks to a class, when a teacher comes out as trans, or even when a student does &#8211; but I never expected that the mere presence of a photograph would cause a similar reaction. [...]]]></description>

THEN

I was getting involved in my second relationship ever after my partner and I decided to be poly.
I identified as bisexual even though all my partners had been women &#8211; I knew identity and behavior don&#8217;t always have to match up.
I was flirting with the [...]]]></description>
