RED: "Non-Binary" Person Rejects Male/Female Gender Duality (tags)
Red, who works at San Diego's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center, identifies themselves as non-binary: that is, neither male nor female but somewhere in a "cloud" of genders that rejects the idea that there are only two human gender identities, male and female. They gave an interview for the August 2011 Zenger's Newsmagazine in which they (you refer to a non-binary person as "they," "them" or "theirs" even if you're only referencing one individual) explained these new, unfamiliar concepts of gender that are beyond the experience of most people, including most Transgender people. Red and Zenger's editor/publisher Mark Gabrish Conlan discussed how both gender identity and sexual orientation are far more complex and fluid than either the straight or the Queer mainstream is willing to acknowledge.

Journey through the Riverside Police Depts. Internal Affairs: the runaround (tags)
After learning that an officer was assigned to investigate officers including himself, concerning "Retaliatory Monday," I stepped further inside the looking glass, and learned that the old adage about police departments is true: You can be assigned to investigate yourself, and nary an eyebrow will be raised, even when you decide that a police crackdown of a protest covered by print and television media, never happened at all.
