Self-Organizing Man

Some people tell me that by having surgeries and taking hormones I’ve lost my ambiguity.  Usually they make these statements as expressions of their own ambivalence around transsexuality.

Wonder what they’d think if they saw me in my birthday suit? Publically, of course,  I look very certainly a man.  But why stop at the surface?  Revolutions aren’t commercials.

Revolutionary revolutions must go below the surface of the skin, to embrace whole people.  Beneath every person’s public face and public skin, lie private surfaces and little revealed faces, touched and untouched, seen and unseen, ambiguous, ambivalent, obscure.  Transsexuals are perhaps simply more public about our ambiguities and subversions.
