this review of the tiptree bio by farah mendelhson postulates that triptree might have been transsexual, but uses the word transgendered and spends a fair amount of time talking about bodies and phyiscal acts related to those bodies...i think that it is fair to call mr tiptree transgendered b/c of how he both claimed a male nomenclature, and constructed a life of comfort in traditioanlly masculine fields, including SF and the CIA. (or to put it another way, we should stop assuming the only way of transgressing gender is assuming sex, the liminal spaces b/w alice shedlon and james tiptree wre queer enough w/o needing to idenitfy her soley as a lesbian or stone butch etc)

Benedict tries his hand at christology, titling the book The Newer Testement, choice qoute:
The biography seeks to refute modern interpretations of Jesus as nothing more than a revolutionary and moral teacher. These interpretations are confusing to the faithful, Benedict said.
