A "beating the Devil" story that I'd heard a version of a long
time ago, retold by
pdcawley. I like this telling of
it. - Genetic switch for certain sexual behaviours in mice found. Doesn't seem to apply to humans, but we now know how to make bisexual mice.
- Short, shameful confession: I don't find this dress anywhere near as hideous as everyone else I've heard comment on it seems to. Outrageously cartoonish, yes. Not something I could see on the street or in an office or at most parties, but it'd be fun eye-candy at a science fiction convention! I actually like it.

utterly adorable filk- I should probably at this T-shirt to my gift-wishlist.
- This article in Wired discusses port-scanning and using foreign computers as proxy servers in order to discover other countries' censorship policies. The fact that doing so constitutes unauthorized use of someone else's computer is reflected in the title of the piece, "Does the End Justify the Means?"
- There's no way I'm going to be able to get to Fantasm, but it does sound like a fun convention.

Another set of great links, Glenn-- many thanks!
I was pretty excited about the site with the T-shirt, but once I dug a bit deeper I didn't feel at home. Where's the site for people who aren't trying to mod their body one way or another, but just demand that nobody limit them to only one set of behaviors? It sucks to be "fringe" even among the fringe. Sigh.

(I've also noticed some folks identifying as genderqueer who appear to me (caveat: I'm not inside their skulls) to be less genderqueer and more conventionally transgendered, but unwilling to identify as trans because they're not changing their bodies. The label may look more apropriate to someone who knows them from more than just their LiveJournal posts though.)
So I think that even if the genderqueers.com web site doesn't feel like it's quite for people like you, that shouldn't stop you from wearing the T-shirt if it fits, or throwing your voice into the "why do we have to limit ourselves?" chorus.
