For more on Transhuman Erotic Freedom… When we attended Creating Change in Minneapolis in early February, we were frequently asked “Why Columbia?” To answer this question we might as well start with explaining what Columbia is, and how it relates to our website name, VenusPlusX, and the familiar trigender symbol we associate with our work.

For more on Transhuman Erotic Freedom… También en español Last week we attended a meeting of the trans section of a local PFLAG chapter.
