I do not often listen to BBC Radio 4's Start the Week, but today's
edition had a nice exploration of gender in performance art, with
Grayson Perry being an inciteful participant.
The programme is 43 minutes long and you can download the mp3 and
listen offline. The BBC page below includes some of the works
mentioned.
It may spark some ideas for better Wikipedia articles around the
history of people performing as different genders without the focus
being on conventional drag or transvestites. There is also a
discussion of nude modelling for art, which could be interesting to
think about in the context of how fraught images of nudity hosted on
Wikimedia projects tends to be.

One mention of Wikipedia. But overall a positive article. Hope she's
not being too optimistic.
Using twitter more, I've found replying to guys who insult you in a
human and humorous way, with just enough ridicule so they get the point
ridicule isn't fun, has been pretty successful.
But then I haven't gotten THAT much attention yet, so time will tell...
