Some gender links

[soc_puppet]

So I was browsing through Ana Mardoll's blog, like you do, when I re-discovered xer fantastic Storify of Some Gender Identities. If you're looking to explore gender a little more deeply, or just learn about more gender identities in general, it's a good resource. It also links to two other pretty incredible resources: A list of pronouns, and a pronoun dressing room, where you can input a person's name and pronouns (yours or someone else's) and see how they look in text examples; there's samples from Sherlock Holmes, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and something called The Piebald Hippogriff, so you can experience the pronouns "in action", as it were.

That is a great piece!

And so, BTW, is the Vi Hart video: "On Gender," that someone posted in the comments.

...I remember watching that video back when she (?) first posted it, and it gave me the great phrase: "I do not understand your meat noises!"

And (on watching it again, just now), I realize now that her confusion over the very existence of gender is very much like the confusion I long felt over the very existence of any sort of sexual attraction. ...I've not come across this phrase before, but maybe I'm "Attraction Queer," rather than "Gender Queer?"

Thank you! That's a post I'd found useful before, then I couldn't re-find the link to it later. Vi Hart's video was new to me and very good.
