That evening I got an email from San Diegan Autumn Sandeen, a respected, transgender blogger at Pam's House Blend, who asked me to take a look at the Reader article and possibly respond by writing something. It took a couple of readings to understand what was going on. Between sections that read like a third-hand retelling of a William Gibson short story, the piece was peppered with nasty asides and innuendo about the subject of the article — an accomplished, transgender artist working on her MFA at UCSD named Micha Cárdenas and her work, Becoming Dragon, that is performed in an online virtual world known as Second Life.
