So, now I’m going to church. Don’t panic, I haven’t come over all fundamentalist. My housemate goes to the PMCC (Peninsula Metropolitan Community Church) nearby, which is part of a big organization of queer-friendly, trans-welcoming churches who preach a mixed bag of religion and spirituality, and don’t mind if you’re a bit edgy about believing [...]

[26] Link salad, genderfuck, awesomeness.
Posted: August 28, 2011 in awesomenessTags: trans, world being awesome
Now for something fun! Excellent mash-up poetry that surprised me. I started out thinking that it was all about female empowerment (which is no bad thing), but it shifts and warps and plays about, and is actually about genderfuck and fabulousness. I enjoyed it. There’s also Gender? A Short Film, which doesn’t allow for [...]

Job interview went well! I originally applied for a vet assistant position and didn’t have enough experience, but they liked me enough to suggest I apply for a kennel assistant position, which is the next rung down, so I did and I got a second interview. Hurrah! For the curious, here’s the rough hierarchy of [...]

Worst jetlag ever. Turns out the sushi was probably bad, too. The guys I went with both ended up with stomach issues, so my WEEK OF OUCH was not without company. I’m on antacids and omeprazole for the next week or two, and in the meantime I’ll whine a lot. But at least I probably [...]

[Early warning: this post is rambly and not especially linear.] I’ve been meaning to write about doubt. (Oglaf, taken from here. Beware, the rest of the website is very NSFW.) Actually, I’ve been meaning to write about a lot of things — coming out, sexuality, name changing — but doubt is the one that’s making [...]

“So you’re a man now?” “No.” “No?” “Nope. I’m a transman.” “What’s the difference?” Good question. After all, masculinity is what you make of it, but manhood just isn’t something I’m ready to claim yet. (Take a moment to snigger at that sentence. I sure did.) I had a conversation with a friend a few [...]
