Jordy Jones
By Jay | December 26, 2006
Jordy Jones is a great thinker and wonderful human being. Every interaction with him, be it by email or in some other venue, leaves me feeling really much better about myself and the world. He is a very grounded person. His conversation with Doran George in Self-Organizing Men is equally as rewarding.
Check out a wonderful interview with him here. My favorite quote:
Asked if there is anything he’d like to tell the younger generation of trans kids and genderqueers, Jones replies, “Nothing they can’t read in Hamlet: ‘To thine own self be true.’ It’s not a permission slip for self-involvement, but rather an exhortation to personal self-knowledge, responsibility, and acknowledgment of agency and the need for mutual respect.”
