The article that we have to read for tomorrow titled Visibly Queer: Body technologies and sexual politics touched on a topic that i really did not know much about.  It was an issue i did not think much about.  The use of certain techniques like piercing, corsetry, scarification and branding by certain groups like West Coast leatherdykes was the type of thing that i had heard vaguely about but never given much thought.  Brandings was one that i never really knew about.  IT would be what i would call not normal but until recent years, i never really questioned why they did these things. The testimonies by actual people gave this piece a lot of weight and i thought that was important.  Overall a very interesting look at another life perspective.
