In the heat of the harsh desertβ€”expressed through the yellows of a warm paletteβ€”a man and woman take refuge as a pair of dragons with wings flared claw and snarl at each other. The Dragon Prince extends one arm against rust colored rock for support. While his features are chiseled and his expression stoic, the set of his eyes reflect thoughts turned inward. His free hand grips his sword held low as the princess, with eyes pressed shut, leans close in a moment of vulnerability as they've just escaped from a harrowing experience.

Here’s an author and analyst who looks uncannily (yes I know) like Anne Waldman.

Not to be all gender studies 101 but the presence in this life of even a single trans or genderqueer person is liberatory for us all. Hence the stark terror of those invested in gender as prison rather than gender as play.
