Bottom Surgery I.D. Checker
Friday, March 30th, 2007[1] Forge Forward [2] commissioned this cartoon. I'm here this weekend. Tonight I'm giving a keynote. I'll let everyone know how it goes. P.S. - 'Drop Trou' is an expression used in trans communities that can mean one, to literally drop your trousers, but also has the connotation of feeling okay about one's genitalia.

But I’m Trans
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007[1] [This cartoon is free. Use it to dismantle misogyny.] Whether we like it or not privilege happens to trans men. We didn't ask for it, but now that we have it, let's use it to make our worlds better places to live in. For ourselves. For our mothers and sisters and girlfriends and daughters. And our sons and fathers, too. [1] http://jaysennett.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/dont-they-know-im-a-trans-man.JPG

Miss Landmine Angola 2007
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007Yes, you read the title right. As a trans man I am all too familiar with this kind of apparent fetishizing of difference. File this one under "Wrong. Very Wrong" then spread the word. If you are wondering how low some people will sink then this is just about it. Colleagues in Norway sent me an email with this story about a Norwegian project to promote a beauty contest for landmine survivors in Angola and to create a fashion magazine for specially designed clothes for survivors [1]. The project has received some $80,000 from funders including the Norweigan government.

King Guise Called “Inconsequential Feminist Drivel”
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Yes, it's true [1]. Finally, The HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) Prize awarded weekly to the loudest and most inconsequential feminist drivel the SC&A jury can find, goes to the publisher of the next must have coffee table book, Jay Sennet [2], of Homofactus Press.... There is little I can say about someone who can't even spell my name correctly except Thanks for the Plug! And Don't Let Your Ad Hominem Dismissal (aka How Illogical Can You Be?!) Show!

Call for Submissions: King Guise
Friday, March 9th, 2007Spread far and wide. This may very well be the first book dedicated to Kings of Color published in English, Spanish, and French. KING GUISE Call for visual/ digital / photographic images of self-identified, of ‘Color’ Drag Kings, Genderqueers, Male Impersonators, Masculine Impressionist, Studs, FtMs, Butches and related trans- identities for proposed coffee table book. This collection of images and accompanying text will focus on and explore the act of putting on masculinity / man / he / h?m. Special consideration for ‘action images’ depicting the putting on, taking off, performance or ‘captured desire’ of the ‘masculinized-self.’ King Guise will use critical inquiry to investigate the process and execution of these transformations and the eventual outcome, if any, of public display and interaction. Thru dialogue with actual image ‘recorders,’ the subjects/objects themselves and the voyeurs drawn to these particular ‘looks,’ King Guise will delve into the murky palette of ‘gendered desire and play,’ with particular attention given to the operation and influence of cultural, racial and regional ‘ethics/values/norms.’ All submissions, commentary and visual submissions shall be fully considered. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ACADEMIC, “POLITICALLY APPROPRIATE” or “GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT” I am also accepting portraits, written works, sketches, drawings, digital imagery, reprints, cartoons, erotica and more. King Guise will be published in English, French, and Spanish!
