Rodrigo,
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.

Um abraco,
Ines

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.
