Remember the cervical piercing I added last month? Well, it’s been followed up with an interview with Ash, the piercer, and it evolved into a really fascinating discussion of post-gender, and is one of my favorite interviews in a long time. Click through to read it and come back to comment!

Ash’s Livejournal is a great read too.
Fantastic insight into identity, hopefully Ash will allow me an interview sometime in the future, pretty please :-).

Wow. Incredible. I am not really sure what to say other than that.

Awesome interview! I identify as FTM, but since I lean towards an androgynous appearance, I don’t ‘pass’ most of the time. I wear a small amount of eyeliner and shave my genital area and armpits. Since I’m not the stereotypical transsexual person, I’m afraid this may give me trouble receiving prescription T and a masectomy.

Awesome article. It’s also really cool to see so many non-cisgendered people posting here.

as a [naturally] large breasted woman, I can attest that having large breasts is not particularally supported by our society either…

That was one of the best articles I have ever read. I’m glad that the world is changing to recognize the gray area between “male” and “female”. There is so much more to it than that. Bravo, Ash. You’re on my hero list now for courage and speaking out.

very cool interview. As a college student minoring in gender studies, I find attitudes surrounding gender and sex to be so diverse and its nice to see a positive article affirming gender and sex in a seemingly radical way that will hopefully help to change some peoples’ negative feelings toward the topic regarding gender roles.

Brilliant interview, as a female-to-male transsexual myself, I have often wondered about the options avaliable to my hormonally enhanced dick, in regards to piercing.
Through this piece, it has confirmed my realization that indeed a foreskin (“hood”) piercing is what I want.

Very very interesting. Makes one think a little about just how fragile our way of defining gender really is.

This was so inspirational, in the sense of finding and exploring one’s own identity. Where can I read her above-mentioned LiveJournal?

“People with a post-gender identity or outlook aren’t necessarily perceived to be transgender and may not have any sort of transgender body mods. Even among transgender people there are such a range of bodies and minds, I don’t think it would be possible to say X piercing will suit people with X identity.”
Ash– thank you for making this point.
