I have been considering beauty myths recently. Since my post on Monstrous Gender actually.
As I said, I am not afraid of becoming monstrous, because my body will be closer to what it should be. My dysphoria is already decreasing, just from binding and a little practically invisible facial hair. What I was afraid of [...]

I went to a toga party last night. I wore a black t-shirt, and a black doona cover, and ended up looking like some kind of insane priest, swathed in a black habit.
Anyway, I had some cheap booze, checked out the crop of first year uni students and met some new people.
It is very rare [...]

I work at a university, and the other day I saw a poster in the Health, Design and Science building that intrigued me.

There is a wikipedia article on the concept, but my own one sentence definition is:

Coming out bit by bit…
Posted by: Ryan on: December 28, 2007
So I officially came out as a Lesbian on my 22nd Birthday. I had been kinda out as a bisexual for quite a while, so it wasn’t really that big a deal to most of my friends. I don’t think that many of them understood the distinction I was placing on Officially Coming Out, as [...]
