the gender continuum

Adam's drawing of Zappa with Smurfy

I read a fascinating article today in Vancouver's urban weekly "The Georgia Straight" (named loosely for Georgia Strait, the channel that separates Vancouver from Vancouver Island). I was fortunate to find that it's also on-line. Check it out.

As for Zappa, he has no gender identity issues at all. He is and will forever be genderless, though he does lift his leg on occasion. He's doing much better after last week's trauma and gets all those dozens of stitches out next week. And he's back to playing with "Smurfy", his beloved stuffed toy.
