I consider myself to be a moderately prolific and somewhat accomplished writer. To date, my writings have focused almost exclusively on the subjects of gender and trans issues. This page contains a fairly complete list of my published works. For convenience, it is organized into the following sections:
books that I have written or edited...
anthologies that my writings have appeared in...
chapbooks (aka, small, self-published collections of my poetry and/or essays)...
zines (both print and web-based) that my writings have appeared in...
Some items have links so that you can actually read what I have written (note: in some cases the links forward to
unedited versions that may slightly differ from the final versions that appeared in print)...
Also, if you're interested, I have a couple of webpages that are devoted entirely to specific topics in trans politics that I am interested in and/or obsess over. Frustration focuses on the issues of trans woman-exclusion and trans woman-irrelvancy in women's spaces and in queer/trans politics. And TSetiology discusses my views and critiques of various theories regarding the potential cause(s) of transsexuality.
And of course, like virtually every one else on the planet, I occasionally blog...
the following chapbooks are all smaller, self-published books that I have put out...
