LEAD SINGER OF PUNK BAND ‘AGAINST ME’ COMES OUT AS TRANSGENDER IN ROLLING STONE
The Associated Press reported tonight that Tom Gabel, lead singer of the punk band Against Me!, will come out as transgender in an article set to run in this week’s issue of Rolling Stone.
Gable told the magazine that she will remain married to her wife Heather, who she describes as “super-amazing and understanding.” Though she still goes Tom for the time being, Gable will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace. She tells the interviewer that “I’m going to have embarrassing moments and that won’t be fun. But that’s a part of what talking to you is about - is hoping people will understand, and hoping they’ll be fairly kind.”
“Tom’s decision to live life authentically is not only a personal step forward, but one that will advance the national discussion about treating transgender people with fairness,” said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick. “As more and more Americans get to know people who are transgender, they’re coming to embrace and celebrate them.”

I love being a fat/PALE jersey shore girl. breaking the stereotype. :D

“Urban Women” by Prabuddha Dasgupta
Indian women as subjects of photographic representation have never been seen as anything other than exotic models of attractiveness… its current avatar being the one dimensional Bollywood stereotype. And that, ironically in an age where women’s accomplishments in practically every arena have far surpassed their male counterparts.
These are portraits of urban Indian women, selected for their interestingness rather than their physical charms, drawn from a variety of disciplines, sometimes confirming to gender stereotypes and sometimes defying them (via website)
