Transgender Teen in New Jersey Denied Right to Schooling
OK. What she has been denied is the right to show up at school dressed and acting as accord with her gender identity. Think Progress has the story.

Men's Biggest Fears
I have said it many times, but Jayson Gaddis says it well, too: Men are terrified of being perceived as feminine. That terror is what is behind a lot of homophobia and transphobia.

Links to Some Good Recent Posts
Kind of trying to catch up here. So, a few links to recent (and some not so recent) blog posts I think are worth reading.
- Unsurprisingly, the gay-straight binary makes no more sense than the gender binary (Slate, Role Reboot).
- Nice post from Emily Heist Moss apologizing for thinking male sexuality is as simple as the stereotype has it (Role Reboot).
- Great article about why it really can be empowering to be on the receiving end of rough sex (AlterNet), as Belle Knox bravely insisted (xoJane). The comments definitely show people how confused people are about this.
