Gender fluidity & interpretation in WALL-E

Well, I was going to post something completely different, but how could I not link this: my hero Kate Bornstein writing about gender interpretation in Disney-Pixar's WALL-E.

How fucking fantastic is that? Made my day, that's for sure. It still amazes me how ingrained gender binary is into our culture, where we assign gender to freaking ROBOTS and think nothing of it. Geez.

Yeah, Kate B. always makes me smile, no matter what ze's up to. :-D
