This person describes passing as being the opportunity to change at any time without warning, but also can lead to separation from ones original self, family, friends or other original life.

In Adjusting the Boarders Jessa Lingel quotes Bell Hooks talking about passing in racial contexts. "If black American life when a newborn is emerging from the body what is first noticed is skin color...black parents know skin color will, to a grave extent, overdetermine some aspects of their child's destiny as much as gender."

Passing can sometimes require acceptance into a community and can lead to ones temporary or permanent leave from another community from which they belonged before.

B. Ruby Rich

I believe some improvements could be made under the Wiki page for B. Ruby Rich, here are some of the ideas I have.

-First there is some terminology I though could be explained for clarification. The term cinefeminism- women who make movies that represent what women are thinking; because films are easier to make differently, it is easier for women to create different perspectives. These definitions were found in "Cultural Studies As Critical Theory", a definition by B. Ruby Rich would be preferred and should be cited in the paragraph saying she founded the term.

-If possible I think a picture would be a good addition to this wiki.

-Citation could be helpful in the paragraph claiming that she has been published in major national publications and has coined the term cinafeminism.

-Her contributions to different publications is interesting but needs citations and I think explaining what she said or using quotes applicable to her work with film and feminism film could add to the wiki article.

-"The cover of her classic 1998 book, Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement, reads, "If there was a moment during the sixties, seventies, or eighties that changed the history of the women's film movement, B. Ruby Rich was there. Part journalistic chronicle, part memoir, and 100 percent pure cultural historical odyssey, Chick Flicks – with its definitive, the way-it-was collective essays – captures the birth and growth of feminist film as no other book has done." -Think this sentence/ Paragraph could use rewording, it is confusing and there is no citation or working link to this book. My question is, and maybe I am just reading this wrong, but why would she speak of herself on her book title? In which case then the wording of this sentence is confusing and needs to be reworked.

In an article in IndieWire, Rich wrote that the inspiration for the movement she created called "The New Queer Cinema" came from four things: Regan, AIDS, the intention of camcorders and cheap rent. All things that occurred around the late 1980s and the early 1990s.

-Citation for Chicago work at Art Institute and New York work.

-Does Cine feminism need to be defined by itself, or would a link to Feminism in Cinema do?

- Buggery additions (starter Article) Reports of homosexuality in the 1950s caused heated conversations, in response Sir John Wolfenden was put in charge to enact legislation which would eventually make it illegal for personal relationships to be regulated by the government in Britain. The legislation eventually took the name The Wolfenden Report.
