Extractions: by Carolyn It is important for me to confront the differences and similarities between myself and other women. It's essential that we don't ignore our uniqueness nor rank our oppression. Acknowledging the specific nature of the oppression transgender people face, we can begin to deal with oppression not just from a theoretical base, but by "grappling with" what Cherrie Moraga describes as "the source of our own oppression, without naming the enemy within ourselves and outside of us, no authentic, non-hierarchical connection among oppressed groups can take place." Transsexualism: limiting identities and sources of power Gender is not solely a psychological state of being, it is a political status. I've chosen to identify Transgender as a word of liberation in my hopes of forging a common language of liberation with all gender outlaws. Transgender identity indicates a refusal to separate transsexuals from bulldaggers, transvestites, drag kings, drag queens, femmes, intersexes, androgynies, genderfucks and those who refuse all stated categories. However, this position is not necessarily widely held in these communities. Women's Liberation: What kind of revolution?

Extractions: One camp says that girls see computers as a communications tool, and the best way to engage them is to exploit that and offer classes that stress using programs say, designing Web sites or online magazines over creating them. The other side says that such preferences exist only because no one has tried to expand girls' technological horizons.

Digital breasts that move like real ones were previously impossible to achieve. An enormous amount of modeling, programming, math, and physics underlie these new, um, developments. I never imagined that Id be using my expertise in this manner and consider myself very, very lucky, says XXX programmer Nick Torkos. Hopefully this will convince others to study math.

http://www.thecyberhood.net/

Extractions: More News Flashes The CyberHood is sponsored by the Urban Affairs Association (UAA) and the Center for Urban Studies, Department of Urban and Regional Planning , University at Buffalo. The Urban Affairs Association is the international professional organization for urban scholars, researchers, and public service providers. The CyberHood is based on the belief that many students, scholars, practitioners and activists of color are isolated from one another and from progressive whites, who are also concerned about the plight of communities of color, conditions in the inner city, and the problems of low-wage white workers. The goal is to make the CyberHood a place where students, scholars, practitioners, and activists from across the racial and class divide can find one another and build meaningful relationships. The building of such connections, we believe, will strengthen the struggle to understand and transform inner cities and the metropolitan regions of which they are a part. MAIN PAGE Featured Question

Kids With Transgender Parents
States the issues affecting kids with gay, lesbian, bi, and transgender parents, stem from parents not conforming to normal gender roles.

Extractions: with Transgender Parents We feel that the issues affecting kids with gay, lesbian, bi, and transgender parents, stem from our parents not conforming to "normal" gender roles. We all have issues about "coming out", our own identity, school-based harassment, and so on. As with kids with bisexual parents, the issues are too similar to ignore. We won't change our name (we like the acronym!), but our mission includes transgender families. Interview of a teenager with a transgender parent (from our newsletter).
