So, this is pretty random, but I just suggested to a friend that "Kate Bornstein has made a life's work of being a matron of a particular side of the broader queer movement." And, when I was reading back over my sent e-mail I realized that it is perhaps somewhat impudent of me to make that assertion. Even if it is my honest, albeit atypically situated, perspective. . . . Right. So, I think I'm asking for either retro-active permission or forgiveness. p.s. Sorry to be so off topic. Didn't know where else to put this.
