I had a lot of fun at Catgirl Goth Rave! It's not the sort of thing I really ever attend, but it was great to put cat ears and nail polish on and dance for a bit. A++ would dance again.
Also... I feel like Kate Bornstein was my magical hero for a long time, because reading Gender Outlaw was a huge part of what made me question my gender identity in the first place and she delivered an amazing keynote speech to Gender Odyssey 2005, after which she was really sweet to me when I fanmoed at her. And now that she's pissing me off a lot, especially with her near-instant retraction of her decision not to use "tranny" any more, it's very sad. I don't want to be frustrated with her, but that's where I am right now. Thanks for the links, by the way - I'd seen some but not all of those.
