If butch daddies want to crochet, if twinkly ladyboys are sometimes tops in bed, if burly bears can do BDSM play as little girls, if femme fatales build bookcases in their spare time, these things, too, are not just good but great. They bring us, I believe, wonderful news: news that gendered options can continue to explode, that the chefs in the kitchen of gender are creating new and imaginative specials every day. That we, all of us, are the chefs. Hi. Have a whisk.

“if twinkly ladyboys are sometimes tops in bed”
If? IF?! I wonder if Bear has ever been hit on by someone looking for trans-but-the-other-way on Craig’s List or similar. Those guys are ALWAYS looking for a fancy, feminine translady to pound them in the ass. Man, “straight” dudes.
Incidentally, Bear is a wicked nice guy and you should all buy his book.

Our real first gay president
The new issue of Newsweek features a cover photo of President Obama topped by a rainbow-colored halo and captioned “The First Gay President.” The halo and caption strike me as cheap sensationalism. I realize airport travelers look at a magazine for 2.2 seconds before moving on to the next one. I grant that this cover will probably get Newsweek a 4.4 second glance. I also understand that Newsweek is desperate for sales. Nevertheless, I doubt that the Newsweek of old, before it was sold for a dollar, would have pandered as shallowly.
The caption is a superficial way to characterize an important development of thought that the president — along with the country — has been making over recent years. It is also entirely wrong. Like the mini-furor a couple of months back about the claim that Richard Nixon was our first gay president, the story simply ignores that the U.S. already had a gay president more than a century ago.
There can be no doubt that James Buchanan was gay, before, during and after his four years in the White House. Moreover, the nation knew it, too — he was not far into the closet.
Today, I know no historian who has studied the matter and thinks Buchanan was heterosexual. Fifteen years ago, historian John Howard, author of “Men Like That,” a pioneering study of queer culture in Mississippi, shared with me the key documents, including Buchanan’s May 13, 1844, letter to a Mrs. Roosevelt. Describing his deteriorating social life after his great love, William Rufus King, senator from Alabama, had moved to Paris to become our ambassador to France, Buchanan wrote:
I am now “solitary and alone,” having no companion in the house with me. I have gone a wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any one of them. I feel that it is not good for man to be alone; and should not be astonished to find myself married to some old maid who can nurse me when I am sick, provide good dinners for me when I am well, and not expect from me any very ardent or romantic affection.
Yup.
One of the most awkward moments of my life was at a history conference where one person had an entire presentation on anti-Buchanan propaganda—a lot of which featured him in a dress.
At the end of the presentation another person asked, “Do you think much of this had to do with his sexual orientation?”
“Excuse me?”
“The fact that he lived with a man and it was widely understood that he was romantically involved with men.”
“Oh… no, I don’t think so.”
“Really? You really don’t think the dress cartoons had anything to do with him being gay?”
“No.”
“….”
A lot of historians also consider Buchanan the worst president in American history, but that’s neither here nor there.

FAT SOLIDARITY: THE BASICS
** Fat experiences are complicated and vary from fatty to fatty. The following are some personal guidelines on how people can opt out of fat hate and challenge the objectification of fat bodies. This list is incomplete, won’t be the same for everyone, and was written by and hastily reflects the experiences of that fat hussy, Majestic
1) Don’t objectify me, or other fat people. Don’t reduce us to our fat bodies or talk to me about how you have fantasies about or would like to fuck fat people as a way to show me that you are ‘down with fatties’. When you fetishize fat bodies, it makes you look skeezy. I would rather die than fuck someone who talks about my fat body like I should be grateful they would fuck it. Barf. Believe me, there are hot-babes-a-plenty chomping at the bit to get with this.
2) Don’t stick up for people who are fatphobic, or make excuses for them. This just reinforces their unchecked privilege. And yours.
3) Call people out on their fatphobia. This doesn’t mean you have to be rude, it can be as simple as a gentle correction. When friends or community members let fatphobia go unchallenged, not only does it reinforce the shit out of your collective privilege but it makes me feel super betrayed.
4) I don’t conflate fat with disgusting, lazy, or ugly, so neither should you. We both know how sexy I am.
5) 1, 2, 3, 4, check your self-hate at the door. I acknowledge that everyone has a hard time with their bodies, but please save that toxicity for some other self-hating individual thank-you-very-much. I don’t want to hear about how you got “fat” over Christmas or how you have to buy a gym membership because of how “disgusting” all of the food you ate made you. When you say those things, you are reinforcing a cruel, body hating culture that makes like, billions of dollars every year off of people who hate themselves. I don’t want to hear it because I spend my energy rejecting this culture, and fighting for a culture where all bodies are loved, affirmed and valued regardless of how fat, queer, or socially unacceptable they are.
6) Think twice before you uncritically discuss things like “morbid obesity” or the Body Mass Index (BMI). Western medicine is an inadequate in its ability to evaluate my health, or understand the complexity of my fat experience. I refuse to let you, or a problematic system talk about my body in regulatory ways that deny me agency. Also, when you leave the medicalization of fat bodies unquestioned, you ignore the fact that western medicine is white, heterosexist, and largely does not serve the needs of queer, fat, gender variant, racialized, or poor communities ETC.
7) Calling people things like “skinny bitch” or saying that you think “skinny people are ugly” still reinforces a culture that wins when we hate our bodies or the bodies of others. If you aren’t getting it at this point, you’re a lost cause.
8) There are more, but I am too pissy to continue. If you need me I am in your subconscious being fabulous, eating my feelings, and giving you the strength to talk back.
