It’s unsurprising, I guess
Most of my childhood I read about white men. In part there was a degree of boys don’t read about girls (even when they’re not boys). In part that was because what was published while I was growing up, particularly in the genres I liked to read, was heavily skewed towards male writers with male…

It’s the agenda
There’s this whole running joke I have about the trans agenda. About the terrible things that I’m doing to enact the trans agenda, recruiting more people into the trans degeneracy, and, of course, collect enough points for the toaster oven. Although you’d think by now – having run a support group for years – I’d…

This is not my fault.
Well, it’s a little bit my fault. Roughly 50% my fault. Also, I need to practice more.

No sleep for the wicked, apparently.
The world’s on fire. At least, the little bit of world folks like me inhabit. The government in the US is very vocally out to get us – not that I think Mango Mussolini actually gives a shit about us (I wrote this meaning trans people, but he doesn’t give a shit about anyone but…

I guess it’s 2025
Content Warning: Historical suicidal ideation. So for years and years I did an update at the turn of the year. I can’t remember how long I did it for. I mean this site has been around in some flavour or other since 1997 – not here, exactly, I didn’t get this domain until 2002, apparently.…

An Open Letter to (soon to be) Former President Biden.
President Biden, Back in 2022 you told transgender Americans: “Your president has your back.” Apparently, rather than meaning that you would protect us, you meant instead to stab us. It must be disappointing for you, who claimed to fight for civil rights, that likely the one legacy of your presidency that will be left intact…

Not okay.
Trigger warnings: Discussion of suicidal ideation and self harm. I don’t know how to express how I feel today. That I’ve resorted to listening to my dad’s favourite record because what I want is to hear him again. To hear him tell me I am loved. That it doesn’t matter that I’m trans, I’ll always…

It’s boiled frog time.
So I’ve joked for the longest time that I’m ‘probably neurospicy’. I can’t remember where I stole the term from, and I can’t entirely remember when I realised that my brain probably didn’t work in a neurotypical way, but genuinely for the longest time I presumed that it was pretty marginal. Like “eh, maybe I’m…

Well, that’s fixed
Sorry for the brief outage – I’m a pillock and broke the website. Buuuuut after a battle with my hosting provider (who’ve changed, and seem to have disabled basically all the normal ways to upload files) I actually have not just fixed the shit I borked, but also finally managed to fix the site editor…

TDoR
I don’t think I normally write anything for TDoR. It’s usually, for me, a personal affair. Moments to think back on the people we’ve lost: the people who could have gone on to do amazing things; and the people who could have gone on to achieve nothing spectacular. Who would have lived quiet little lives.…
