Topics include:

The origins of “Be Gay, Do Crime” What we mean when we say do crime! Train-hopping to outrun your gender feelings A.B.O. Comix and trans prisoner support Plus: gender nihilism, anarchist D&D, bike helmet phrenology, 3 futures of gender, and a debate over the transness of Dune. 

This Week in Gender: Amy Schneider makes more Jeopardy history; Lithuania doesn’t go far enough; April Ashley passed away; Quidditch begins to rename itself; And Just Like That fully does a meme.
