On her first day of work back in 2004, Debbie nearly knocked the water cooler over and onto cofounder and then-publisher Lisa Jervis. Luckily no one held it against her, and she continues to devote most of her days and nights to helping bring bitch into the future, and -- in the bigger picture -- working with others to create a world of love and liberation. She can also often be found playing the accordion, practicing yoga, rearranging furniture, talking to animals, and adjusting the lighting.
She lives with her cat, Zeik, in Northeast Portland.
Turn-ons: accordions and anarchy
Turnoffs: cilantro, jerks, Judge Judy, meatloaf (the food and the musician)
The rising visibility of trans, intersex, and genderqueer movements has led feminists—and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the world—to an increasing awareness that m and f are only the beginning of the story of gender identity. With the release of Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, Julia Serano offers a perspective sorely needed, but up until now rarely heard: a transfeminine critique of both feminist and mainstream understandings of gender.
