“VOICES”Understand<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
The unofficial yet elegant and simple guide to<br />
gender awareness.<br />
“<strong>Gay</strong> rights are human rights.” --<br />
Speech, International Human Rights<br />
Day, Geneva, Switzerland, December 6,<br />
2011 Hillary Cl<strong>in</strong>ton<br />
“It is offensive that so many people feel that<br />
it is okay to publicly refer to transsexuals as<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g “pre-op” or “post-op” when it would so<br />
clearly be degrad<strong>in</strong>g and demean<strong>in</strong>g to regularly<br />
describe all boys and men as be<strong>in</strong>g either<br />
“circumcised” or “uncircumcised.”<br />
― Julia Serano, Whipp<strong>in</strong>g Girl: A Transsexual<br />
Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoat<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
Fem<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>ity<br />
“I’ve been sexually assaulted, physically<br />
attacked, felt unsafe <strong>in</strong> my own house, and<br />
nearly killed myself because I’m transgender.<br />
Now I’m not say<strong>in</strong>g that its the same struggle<br />
as racism. But what I will say is that if people<br />
are <strong>in</strong>tentionally ignorant you can’t fight<br />
them with words. Sometims you have to fight<br />
back. Or scream. And you know what. That’s<br />
life. Despite the lies you may have been told<br />
no one won their rights by ask<strong>in</strong>g for them<br />
nicely. People fought for them. So ya I’m sorry<br />
if what I said may “offend” a few white people,<br />
but I’m go<strong>in</strong>g to fuk<strong>in</strong>g say it anyways.”<br />
― Adam Snowflake<br />
Optical illusion?<br />

The <strong>in</strong>formation that your eyes feed<br />

sometimes this difference can be quite<br />

a variety of found and created items<br />
from electrical circuits to face masks. The<br />
subjects of these creations are usually<br />
statements of a political nature. The work<br />
shown <strong>in</strong> the photograph below is titled<br />
“The Man Who Suddenly Explodes”. <strong>This</strong><br />
is a statement on the frustration of political<br />
promises not carried out. Found and created<br />
items from electrical circuits, lights and<br />
face masks are a few of the components of<br />
this thought provok<strong>in</strong>g work. <strong>This</strong> is only<br />

THAT IS FUNNY<br />
A guy walks <strong>in</strong>to a bar and orders a whiskey. Just before he takes a sip of his whiskey, a guy<br />
runs <strong>in</strong> and says, “Bill, your house burnt down!”<br />
So he runs outside, but then he th<strong>in</strong>ks, “I don’t have a house,” so he goes back <strong>in</strong>to the bar<br />
and takes a sip of his whiskey.<br />
Another guy runs <strong>in</strong> and says, “Bill! Your dad died!”<br />
He runs out of the bar, gets on his horse and rides a little ways, but then th<strong>in</strong>ks, “I don’t<br />
have a dad,” so he goes back <strong>in</strong>to the bar and dr<strong>in</strong>ks almost all of his whiskey. Then another<br />
guy runs <strong>in</strong> and says, “Bill! You won the lottery!”<br />
So he runs out, gets on his horse and rides all the way to the bank, but then he th<strong>in</strong>ks, “My<br />
name’s not Bill.”<br />
My boyfriend told me to go out and get someth<strong>in</strong>g that makes him look sexy... so I got<br />
drunk<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by Jersey Shore<br />
If you read my column regularly, you would<br />
know I went on a rant for a while. People<br />
these days are sp<strong>in</strong>eless and m<strong>in</strong>dless, and if<br />
i could knock a little sense <strong>in</strong>to at least one<br />
person, then I accomplished someth<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Unfortunately, certa<strong>in</strong> people are and will<br />
always be clueless and never know how to be<br />
a respectful human be<strong>in</strong>g. So, with that said,<br />
it’s your loss. I’m mov<strong>in</strong>g on with my life to<br />
a much more positive place with or without<br />
you. I can’t heal stupid, so enjoy your stupidity.<br />
With that said, I like be<strong>in</strong>g me because I’m<br />
just nice. I don’t lie, steal, and disrespect<br />
people. I will defend and stick up for myself. I<br />
know the k<strong>in</strong>d of person I am and the universe<br />
is mighty aware as it treats me fantastic.<br />
I reap the rewards of be<strong>in</strong>g good. Karma is<br />
my lover. It fills me up with joy. It feels good.<br />
And I don’t have to make it breakfast <strong>in</strong> the<br />
morn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
People amaze me with what they believe,<br />
even though they heard it from one source,<br />
they have no proof, the source itself is a crazy<br />
mental patient, but they believe it. Why is<br />
that? Are people that easily strayed? Yes, they<br />
are. In the long run all the destruction they<br />
allowed themselves to be part of will crumble<br />
down the karma cliff and I still will be bounc<strong>in</strong>g<br />
around on my stage do<strong>in</strong>g what I do with<br />
my legions of fans.<br />
I know because I am genu<strong>in</strong>ely a good<br />
person, that when you are fall<strong>in</strong>g down that<br />
cliff, I’ll be sitt<strong>in</strong>g at home with Mr. Smokey<br />
enjoy<strong>in</strong>g my Simpsons on television know<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that I did the right th<strong>in</strong>g. I will never doubt<br />
that I made an impact as a good person. If<br />
that statement makes you scoff then you need<br />
to re-adjust your negative ways and you have<br />
issues. Enjoy be<strong>in</strong>g miserable. I’ll enjoy the<br />
good life, with my good friends, and my good<br />
job, and my self respect. life is great!<br />
Peace, love, and life,<br />
