Re: What are you guys currently reading?

Is Beyond Binary a trans* collection, or does it include stories with LGB characters who aren't genderqueer?

In my view, the editor seems to deal with issues of bisexuality and sexual fluidity (and for that matter speculative fiction) very broadly. One of the worst reviews (worst in terms of review quality, not just giving the book a bad rank) over on goodreads was "bisexuality is not sexual fluidity." In many of the stories, the sexuality and gender of characters isn't explicitly defined as a single word. The opening story "Sea of Cortez" as an example deals with LGBT identity in the U.S. Navy during WWII and drag as the only outlet at the time for gay men and transgender women to break out of the gender roles.

When I wrote that it was uneven above, what I meant was that there were some stories that I found to be brilliant, and some that just didn't work for me due to the way they were written. ("Ghost Party" and "Bleaker Collegiate Presents an All-Female Production of Waiting for Godot" didn't work for me.)
