Serano is the author of Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman On Sexism And The Scapegoating Of Feminity , and she regularly lectures on the intersections of being transgender and identifying and being perceived as female. One interesting point that Serano brought up was the idea of facsimilation in regards to having a queer identity. Her example of this was the illegalization of gay marriage in most the the U.S.: Gay marriage is just an inferior copy of and is not as good as a ... Read Full Story

GenderBloc , the University of Cincinnati’s radical queer organization that focuses on trans activism, has produced a survival guide to help trangender people navigate UC’s tricky policies and resources. GenderBloc members contacted administrators to see what their current policies and resources were for trans students, and worked with them to form policies where there were none. Some of the topics can be generalized to most schools, and the guide can serve as a template for other places to make a guide of their own. Questions answered in the “Trans Survival Guide” are ones like, “Can I officially change my name or gender marker with ... Read Full Story

What is the name of the phenomenon where words lose their original meaning once they take on an off-color meaning?

I know there's a term for that phenomenon because I had to learn it in my freshman linguistics class in college. But that was twenty-six years ago and my Google-Fu fails me. Help! Bonus...
