This year's keynote speakers continue to transcend the boundaries with femme activists Kate Bornstein and Moki Macias.
"I've lived all my life wanting to be a girl and a girly-girl and now the ladies I most admire say, 'Yep, you did it.' It's like being crowned Miss America," said transgender author and performer Bornstein. The 62-year-old self-identified dyke plans to speak about desire and sexiness beyond borders.
