Salon praises black queer feminist Dr. Pauli Murray. From the piece:

Pauli Murray was a gender nonconforming person, who favored a masculine-of-center gender performance during her 20s and 30s. She struggled both with her sense of gender identity and with her sexual attraction to women. She asked doctors to administer male hormones to her in the 1930s, and tried to convince one doctor to perform exploratory surgery to see if she had “secreted male genitals.”

Horseplay: or, The Fickle Mistress, a Protean Picaresque is playing in NYC right now, and the play includes something a little relevant to our interests:

Attempting to break into New York’s bohemian literary scene, [Menken] catches the eye of the rich and powerful Ada Clare (Jan Leslie Harding, hilariously playing the tuxedoed lesbian with an immense mid-Atlantic dialect) and discovers a taste for Sapphic love. But an even bigger literary powerhouse, Alexandre Dumas Pere (Tiffany Abercrombie), turns her back to men and reminds her of her African-American roots. (Dumas was of mixed race.) She’s French; she’s English; she’s queer. Who is she really? “Same as anyone,” Menken blithely replies, “I’m whoever I need to be.”

I love a tuxedoed lesbian!
