Transcending Boundaries: Sydney in the Flesh

Sydney is a character in the Boston-based Manga, Chaotic Kiss. The creator of the comic writes on her site:

It was important for me to create a manga studio that dealt openly with issues of gender identity and specifically the trials and tribulations facing transgender women, or commonly, t-girls. CHOTIC KISS is the first manga put out by MKT Productions and has been touring the New England anime convention circuit since 2004. MKT Productions has also been a guest artist at Portcon as well as Another Anime Con. Our studio hopes to debut more transgender titles in the future as well.

Transcending Boundaries: An Acceptable Disparity

Transcending Boundaries: 2010 Keynote Speech and Banquet

The focus of the Transcending Boundaries Conference is to create a community for those who are on the outskirts of “normal” society. Along with the classes and entertainment, the entire conference sits down to share a common meal on Saturday. It is a chance to take a breather during the sometimes hectic conference schedule, catch up with old friends you haven’t seen in a while, and get to know your new friends better.This year’s lunch featured an acoustic set from the band Humble Tripe, and keynote speech from Lee Harrington. The speech was inspirational, comparing our work as activists to the work of organic farmers, and the importance of not focusing in on one part of ourselves, but to work as an entire organism. We left our shared meal energized not only by the delicious food, but also by the inspiring words. (Text by Jennifer)
