About me:
I'm transplanted, transforming and studying transgenderism... so I'm movin' around in every part of my life!
After moving to San Francisco over a year ago from San Diego county, I've had some grand shifts in my life between working with Cafe Gratitude (a raw vegan restaurant and school of transformation) to my masters degree program in the SFSU Women's Studies Department.
I am searching and experimenting with new modes of being, and new modes of expression as I soak in all of these amazing opportunities in creative, radical and transformative work... all within this skin-sack called a body!
I work as an Office Assistant to Cafe Gratitude, getting my life out of working there. Cafe Gratitude is the world's largest raw organic vegan restaurant (5 locations now) and is 150% dedicated to the transformation of the lives of it's employees. I can't believe I'm getting paid for this!! check out their website at www.cafegratitude.com
I am finishing up my Masters Degree this year in Gender and Womens Studies at San Francisco State University. This year I am writing my thesis, which is scaring the crap out of me (in that I've just spent the last 2 years of my life/schooling in learning what's wrong with current ways of writing/researching in Women's Studies). If I can really get past dipping my toes in the water of my thesis and jump in fully, maybe I can get some real contribution going. My thesis topic is on the embodiments (ways of being) of intersexed individuals through their online communities (youtube, forums, blogs...) and analyzing what's possible in gender, sex, (dis)ability and sexuality through these unique modes of self ..beyond essentializing, beyond social construction, beyond identity politics). When what we say and how we perform our identities creates a knowledge of the world, most people say and perform what they know and the cycle of social understanding keeps going without much change.
and Look: I made these!

I really like what you're doing too! In fact, I see some similarities with what I'm doing in terms of the borders of the body, it may just be because I'm in mental borders mode now. Anywho, this message is long...Are you done with the semester? If not good luck with the rest of your work and if so have a fabulous and RELAXING break! Much love:)
