If the editors of the Atlantic Monthly got high and decided to start a revolution, they might come up with something like Other magazine. Then again, it’s quite possible that only Charlie Anders and Annalee Newitz could’ve conceived of such a thing ... Published three times a year, Other is a journal of dissident nonfiction, transgressive fiction, freethinking comic art, and experimental poetry."

Now there’s a word for it [General] ? charlieanders @ 8:20 am

Apparently someone has coined a new word for people who aren?t transgender and who have a socially condoned gender identity. We?re now supposed to call such people cisgender, which sounds a bit like they have cysts or something. The idea is that defining the majority as other than ?normal? or ?default? will make transgender identities seem less like aberrations, and more like equal alternatives. Of course, it?s unclear how much power word games have to change most people?s perceptions.
