<DIV>Rodrigo,</DIV>
<DIV>I'm not sure what you mean by manipulation of grammatical gender, but if you mean alternations, I know Brazilian gays in the US and Brazil for whom conventional gender marking alternates. I don't know of any linguistic literature on it, however.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey, guys, does anyone have suggestions about literature on the manupulation the the grammatical gender? I've been involved with a research among Travestis in southern Brazil and I discovered that their particular use of the grammatical system in Bazilian Portuguese might be really worth taking a look at.</FONT></DIV>
