        Jacob Tobia: Cis Men Should Embrace Their Attraction to Trans Folx

 Mar 11, 2019 

        Jacob Tobia's memoir, Sissy: A Coming of Gender Story, garnered the nonbinary trans actor, author, and activist a six-figure deal with Putnam Books. Sissy takes fans from Tobia's earliest nonconforming gender experiences through the intense gender policing that eventually drove those explorations underground, to their coming out gay in high school, and blossoming in college.

        If there's one thing Costa Ricans value above all else, it's community. Pura vida is more than a friendly motto written on hats or T-shirts for tourists to buy at souvenir shops. Directly translated as "pure life," it is closer to American ideas of the "simple life." And in Costa Rica, the concept is part of their heritage and runs deep in the soil. The phrase is a reminder to not sweat the small stuff and instead focus on things that matter: friends, family, and most importantly, love. Keep Reading →
