Camp Trans was a huge mess and a nightmare, as I’m sure has gotten all over the internet by now. I, standing up against some really fucked up shit, became a huge target, and ended up having to leave in the middle of the night for my own safety. This blog was initially set up [...]
Camp Trans
So, I hate to ask for help (because things are rough all around, and everyone’s money is tight), but, I am going to be able to get to Camp Trans, but, the travel costs are going to be heavy this year for me (last minute backing out of people from a rideshare leading to a [...]
Fashion and the Poor, Fat, Genderqueer Femme
I’m thinking of starting a separate fashion blog, mainly because I’m always complaining that almost all the femme fashion blogs out there seem to be femmes who are thin, the visibility of fat femmes seems to be really tilted toward femmes whose bodies have an hourglass shape, most of them seem to have a good [...]

I’ll be guest posting over at Questioning Transphobia, and my introduction is up over there. In general, it’s a great blog you should check out.

Part of my birthday celebrations – as I’ve been doing different things when different people have been available – was a picnic in a park on my birthday, which, of course was fabulous – the weather was beautiful, we all brought yummy food, my birthday cake was amazing, [...]
Talking About Invisibility
It seems to me that the busted things I deal with in my life tend to group themselves into themes. Lately I seem to be dealing with a lot of invisibility and how it seems to steal my voice. Invisibility is often hard to address in the moment, especially when speaking out means I’m going [...]
Calling Myself Out
I’m calling myself out, here, about this post. While I’m totally all for the idea of a trans-centric sexuality and need to control how my body is labelled, the post kind of makes me feel creepy. I’ve certainly had enough bad experiences with trans people, sexually, with a lot of nonconsensual relabelling of my body, [...]
The Intersection of Trans and Disability

I know that a lot of my on the streets [...]
