Rambling Faggy Tranny,
Living in Utah.
My name is Dexter and I was assigned the gender "female" at birth. Since December of 2008, there's been a whole lotta social and physical transition going on up in here. Why? To help my brain and body physiologically connect. Even though my gender identity (genderqueer) hasn't changed, after a series of social pickles (like being unable to use my debit card!), I am now dude. who'dathunk.
I'm currently a college student and a McNair Scholar majoring in Neuro/Social Psychology. I intend to nab me a PhD!
Kiddle Era:
Can you count, suckers? I say, the future is ours... if you can count!

Documentary on Navajo Teen Murdered for Gender Identity to Air on PBS
“Fred Martinez was a Navajo boy, who was also a girl. In an earlier era, he would have been revered. Instead he was murdered,” from Two Spirits.
I haven’t had the chance to watch this award-winning documentary yet, but entirely intend to this week seeing as it will be airing 1493 times starting tomorrow, the 14th, until June 29th on PBS! It concerns the brief life of Fred Martinez, a Navajo youth who was murdered in 2001 due to gender and sexual identity. (S)he was 16 years old.

Beautiful Darling
Last week my friend, Andrew, told me about a documentary called Beautiful Darling, which is about the life of a transgender woman named Candy Darling. It is currently playing at The Tower (a super bad azz local independent theatre).
I’d learned my lesson about dismissing Andrew’s pop culture entertainment suggestions earlier on when he lent me Barbarella starring Jane Fonda. I let that 1968 gem sit there on my shelf for months gathering dust bunnies until, finally, 90% motivated to put a stop to his relentless, “Have you watched it yet???” harassment, I crumbled and put it in to my DVD player.
