I was interested by the interview with Christopher Eccleston. Part of me worries that I set attractive famous people on pedestals too much, but then one of them does something like this and I think, no, it's important for people to see that fame doesn't make one immune to mental illness, loss, and deep discomfort with oneself.

The gender expression stuff was sure burying the lede, at least for me. I want him, and middle-aged and older people as entrenched in public masculinity as he, to be able to wear eyeliner sometimes if they enjoy it. And while we're at it, I want them to benefit from the new concepts of gender that I only seem to see being talked about among people my age or younger. Never thought I would say, "You should be on Tumblr!" to anyone, but here we are.
