Last week, a peer at Stanford biked past me and screamed: “You send so many emails!”

I must admit: I do send a lot of emails. I’m one of those kids. As a member of Stanford Students for Queer Liberation, a queer activist group on campus, I’ve been organizing Transgender Awareness Week for the past few weeks. This year our week, “Beyond the Binaries,” is composed of a diverse array of events touching on many different issues including: intersex identity, trans activism, asexuality, and polyamory (among others).
