So last night Rachel and I went to a gender-bending burlesque! It was a mere $5. The whole troupe was female bodied but the gender's ranged from transitionless transman to femme lesbian. If that was confusing just don't think about it.
The show was mostly geared toward making people feel better about their strange and diverse identities: fat, girly, man stuck in a woman's body, etc. It was a cute show; I liked it. When we met up with friends at a coffeehouse afterward, we all kinda agreed that (while it was cute and enjoyable) the show wasn't as revolutionary as it wanted to be.
Or maybe we're just too used to queer people.
