"Gender is a cult.......Membership in gender is not based on informed consent. There is no way out without being ridiculed and harassed. There is peer pressure that is being brought to bear on everyone in this cult. There is no humor about gender. The only humor is from the people who transgress gender."
Kate Bornstein, "Gender Outlaw"

Darya's Newz: "This just in.."(oooooh)

The cool little Pic of me on the enter page and some
of the great cartoons you'll see in here are from
my friend Joelle's website...Purpletights.com. She's irreverent and funny and loves all the things girls love, including Men, but she
still thinks they're jerks: my kinda girl.....She did an interview with me...its laying around somewhere....

Gina Lance of Girl Talk Magazine is a close friend, and mentally unstable enough to let me write articles for them...most recently a semi-regular section called "Shop Till you Drop" I wrote one about shopping on

Hollywood Boulevard, one about the Fabulous Red Dress Ball (I have a thing for red), and one called "Fashion Survivor: The Valley". It's in the most recent issue with the tall and gorgeous Brandy Warhol on the cover.
Girl Talk is a great magazine.... It's stylish and oh so much fun. A very welcome break from the ugly-chix-with-dix rags on one side and the me-and-my-gushy-TG-feelings mags on the other.

Excerpt from her essay:
"Honor Thyself"

....For the submissive, B&D can heal you in so many ways. It can teach you to have pride in yourself, to stop feeling guilt over your desires (no matter how exotic they may be, you can find somebody who wants to play just with you). It can awaken your sexual responses to levels you never dreamed existed, permitting you to truly rest, relax and trust your partner to take you wherever you need to go for fun, discipline, hot sultry sex, or a cathartic experience that leaves you totally drained. Happily exhausted, your mind racing high above the world as new and timeless truths blossom in your brain. IT CAN BE THAT WONDERFUL!....
