A Funny Thing
A funny thing, but it’s taken me a long time to adjust to the idea that I pass as cis. I mean, it’s been going on for over a year now but I still don’t expect it. It still surprises me. Not only that but I find I feel guilty towards other trans people who [...]
Things that make you go “Wow!”
Every now and then you come across something that makes you go “Oh wow yes, this” and I did today. It’s the mp3 of an event called “Girl Talk: A Cis & Trans Woman Dialogue” at the National Queer Arts Festival (in the US). You can find an article about it here on Body Impolitic [...]

Notorious
I’ve had a few conversations about anger in the last couple of months. Indeed, my last few posts have been about an event that has caused anger, that included anger in it. In fact, I read this today, on a very definitely trans ally person’s blog (not saying which because who wrote it is not [...]

Trans Dark Matter
Warning! This post might be controversial. Sorry about that. It’s about me! So I can’t help it!
The fact that I lack any safe space is a source of disillusionment for me. I do not expect people to be false and to go against their own opinions to provide it. It’s important to say that. That [...]

Transitions
It’s a complicated business to unravel, transition. In short it is the period of life a trans person goes through as they change from living in the gender role they were assigned at birth to living as the gender their internal sense of self is set to. It could be from male to female, from [...]
