Mi-mi-mi – oh! Sorry, Reader: You seem to have caught me warming up my vocals. You see, Gender Unbound is hosting a community singing event for trans and intersex folks. So you can see why I must prepare – like, they literally have trans choir director A. Villarreal leading the chorus! No, no, you don’t have to worry about how interrupting me has ruined my voice forever. This here’s a space where all voices at all levels are welcome, so even a creaky crooner like myself may join. As Gender Unbound’s event post says, “Off-key is okay, but off-putting gender binary norms are NOT!” – James Scott

Trans & Intersex Community Sing

“What happens when we turn toward our pain?” Over four Tuesdays and together with other men and trans masculine folks, this community-building series tackles the question of patriarchy – how it benefits men, harms them, and how we might find a way to practice mindful masculinity. Abundant Masculinities founder Kanoa Arteaga leads the four-week class in group activities, journaling, art-making, and more, with over eight years of experience in masculinities work. Tickets run on a sliding scale of $5-30, but one ticket covers all four sessions. – James Scott

Abundant Masculinities: Turning Toward

Two of the campiest summer staples are located in the eroticism of the car – the car wash and the drive-in movie – and who looks better covered in grease than a dyke? You can even bring your bike to this combo car wash/movie night at the Museum of Human Achievement. “While we can’t promise professional-level shine, we CAN guarantee cargo shorts, carabiners, and a cleaner car than when you rolled in,” writes MOHA. “No ride? No worries! It’ll be a spectacle!” Even better, the evening’s entertainment features one of the hottest handymen to ever grace the silver screen – watch Gina Gershon ripple and smolder sweatily at Jennifer Tilly in the Wachowski sisters’ neo-noir 1996 classic Bound. Car wash starts at 6:30, movie at 8:30; general admission is $5-20, and you can get a wash for $20-30 – all proceeds go toward supporting one of the few dyke-specific spaces in the country. As MOHA reminds, “With fewer than 40 dyke bars left in the country, these spaces are precious.” – Lina Fisher
