I mean my favourite is probably Miss Vanjie… but not for any other reason than her instincts to grab for whatever worked and then ride that train home. Which I suspect I could probably think of someone more ‘worthy’ on the other hand – aren’t we all worthy and isn’t a role model just another … Read More
I always fall back on But I’m A Cheerleader because it’s an excellent romcom. I have a weakness for Bound too because I like my lesbian gangster movies to come with lockouck earrings. I don’t do long slog queer movies or grinding lgbt history. I’ll read my history and talk to queer elders but give … Read More

Ah this one I’ve definitely blogged about before and there’s a fair bit on this blog about not being able to tell my parents about my life. I’m not really sure why it upset me so much that I couldn’t tell them about things going on in my life. But I got used to it, … Read More

I’ve written about how, being femme and cis it feels like I have a duty to keep coming out – there’s no real good stories, it’s just continual … Read More
It has to be Annie Sprinkle’s Insta which isn’t Quiltbag themed so much as it is sex positive and artistically focused. And also run by a queer girl. I will also give a shout out to uncle David’s insta. That is more explicitly queer community focused. Not got a lot else to say really other … Read More
I’ve always enjoyed – Why do gay guys have such good fashion sense? They really used their time in the closet. But I like my jokes to be a bit of a story; A man walks into a bar and orders three shots. “Long day?” the bartender asks. “Well… My oldest son just came out…” … Read More
The one I’ve taken back has to be Queer. I am lucky in that as a cis-woman i don’t really get the really bad slurs hurled at me, I never have. I’ve had, what, the odd ‘lesbo’ over the years. Dyke too. But I guess whereas Queer I’ve taken back almost by default I’ve deliberately … Read More
Stupid? Sort of, more, usually deployed in a dishonest/disingenuous way. The claim that ‘cis’ is a slur. People who are talking about trans people being themselves are promoting an ideological agenda are usually themselves wrapped up in their own ideology. The point is, the more we have words for something the better we can discuss … Read More
