1/ #CamillePaglia is amazing, and so relevant today: "My dissertation at Yale was on androgyny...I explored it in history and realized that the movement towards androgyny occurs in late phases of culture, as a civilization is starting to unravel."
2/ "People who live in such times feel that they're very sophisticated, cosmopolitan. But from the perspective of historical distance you can see it's a culture that no longer believes in itself...you see the barbarians begin to mass on the outside of the culture."
3/ "A sex change operation opens one door, and closes many others...the transgender definition has become a convenient label for young people who may simply feel alienated for other reasons...in the 1950s they might have become a beatnik, in the 60s a hippie"
