BEYOND MASCULINITY:
Essays by Queer Men on Gender and Politics
http://www.beyondmasculinity.com

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
-----------------------------------
Gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer men's gender identities often  
exist somewhere outside the traditional categories of "masculine" and  
"feminine." Sissies, drag queens, and leather daddies alike play with  
gender in a way that cannot be accounted for in traditional  
understandings of maleness. This collection -- part blog, part  
anthology, part audiobook -- aims to shatter traditional  
understandings of maleness and point towards a new understanding of  
how queerness and gender intersect.

***DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MARCH 31, 2007***

BEYOND MASCULINITY is looking for contributions in four areas.  
Contributors should not feel bound by these categories - they should  
rather be seen as potential prompts:

   I. Intersections of Identity: How do race, ability, class, and  
other kinds of identities and experiences intersect with gender and  
queerness -- and how do these intersections complicate our  
relationship to traditional understandings of "maleness?"

   II. Feminism / Gender / Politics: How can feminism inform our  
understanding of queer male gender? Can queer men be feminists? How  
can we use our queerness as a political tool? What does male privilege  
look like for queer men?

   III. Bodies, Desire, and Pleasure: What kinds of male bodies are  
desired? Fetishized? Where does sexual desire intersect with queer  
gender and how are these politics mapped out on our bodies?

   IV. Queer Male Communities: How are our identities produced through  
our communities? How do the gender norms and politics of  
gay/bi/trans/queer male communities both liberate and constrain us?

We're looking for queer male writers to step up and contribute their  
thoughts to this online project. We're looking for personal /  
political essays. No academic papers, fiction, or poetry will be  
accepted. ***This is not your typical bookstore anthology.*** It will  
be only available online - and it will be completely free of charge to  
the public. With its unique implementation of media, this anthology  
aims to change the way queer non-fiction is done.

About the Editor: Trevor Hoppe is a Masters of Arts Student in Human  
Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State University. He has a long  
history of LGBTQ campus organizing as an undergraduate student at the  
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he helped found the  
GLBT-Straight Alliance. While at UNC, he also helped found the  
Southeastern Unity Conference, which was focused on investigating the  
intersections of queerness with other kinds of identities. His essays  
and editorials have been published in several publications, including  
The Advocate, Boston's Bay Windows, San Francisco's Bay Area Reporter,  
The East Bay Alternative, and American Sexuality Magazine.
