in that case, i should interject that terre, insofar as he is willing to play the identity game (and you can probably tell by his recordings that that's not very far at all), considers himself simply queer. full stop. btw, transgenderism, transexuality, and transvestism n'est pas la meme choses. trangenderism is the generic term for gender dysphoria (the feeling of nonalignment between one's physiological makeup and one's gendural identity). transexualism involves the surgical alteration of the sex organs in order to eradicate that feeling (t.s. is further subdivided into pre-op and post-op). transvestism is simple crossdressing. sc, nota onnow: fx randomiz : goflex (a-musik)
