Stopped feeling ashamed.


Someone wrote…

Stopped feeling ashamed of my gender-confused identity right after it ceased to be a secret.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Why should I have to change…


Someone wrote…

I like the name I was born with, and I wish people wouldn’t infer a gender from it. Why should I have to change my lovely name to fit others’ ideas of gender?

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?

Question: Temporary Boy


Charlie asks…

I want to try being a boy for a while. Just to see if it’s really me. How do you even bring that up? Does anyone just have advice for me?

Profile: Cat


You can call me… Cat will do. I go by many names, depending on where I am and who you are. They each have stories, and they are each, in some way, true.

I identify as… myself. But I suppose I’ll try to squeeze my round head into a square hole for the sake of clarity: I am, first and foremost, a writer. I am a nomad and a suitcase philosopher. I love people for who they are — not what sort of bits they’ve got between their legs. I think gender is the greatest hoax of all time, and I want nothing to do with it apart from to laugh.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … whatever suits your fancy. I’m not that bothered about it.

I’m attracted to… Intellect, high empathy, moderate madness, passionate souls, and people with something profound to impart upon me.

When people talk about me, I want them to… I’d prefer they didn’t. I make a point of keeping my cards close, so there’s not really much for most people to say about me. Which means anything they do say is gossip and rumour. How silly.

Though I’d totally like to incite a protest.

I want people to understand… that they can take me or leave me. It isn’t going to change who I am, and I’ve moved heaven and earth to remove everyone and anyone who thinks otherwise from my life.

I’m not so bad, if you take the time to get to know me. Really. I even smell nice.

About Cat
Cat is a wandering lunatic who someday hopes to be even one tenth as wise as the collective conscience. If only it could appreciate its own depth.

Oh, and write the Great American Novel. And cure cancer. And other similarly absurd aspirations.

Cat smokes a lot, writes a lot, thinks a lot, works a lot, and sleeps very little.

Profile: Bryan


You can call me… bryan, bry, one friend calls me b money… but that’s reserved for her.

I identify as… in the past year i went from a gender-neutral woman-lover to transman. aka male. but somehow the thought of being a straight white male makes me gag. so for now i’m a queer woman-loving man-child. … or for short a transman.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … the only ones i don’t like are she and her. any other pronouns will do… even if you just point and say you!

I’m attracted to… women… and the occasional hot gay boy.

When people talk about me, I want them to… see me, not my gender or my race or hair color. not my religion or my beliefs. i want them to see me. all of me in its full glory, not sectioned off pieces but all at once. i don’t want them to see white, or male, or female, or trans, straight or gay, catholic or atheist, i just want them to see bryan.

I want people to understand… everyone has a story. a history. a past. and putting people into tightly organized boxes denies that past.

For the first time yesterday someone asked me how I identify. I told the truth.
