ONE OF THE BOYS

This song reminds me of my halcyon days of bloodlust now gone. At the time it fit my darling Fairy Godfather Drag Queens to a tee, it still does, but it also seems to have become a representation of my genderqueer orientation. ONE OF THE BOYS From the Broadway Musical “Woman Of The Year” (1981)Continue reading “ONE OF THE BOYS”

Writing update

So it’s been a while since I’ve updated here on the writing. Guardian is currently still being edited, so no news on that front. Hope to have some soon though. Sadly sometimes things get in the way and that means they are slower than otherwise and I’m kinda ok with that. I really need to startContinue reading “Writing update”

“I am who I am, I am my own special creation.”

It’s been a while since I played that song. The version from the La Cage Aux Folles soundtrack that sits in my iTunes, it’s been a while since I’ve heard it at all, and yet it’s been in my head all day.  I suspect that spending a good two hours watching Laverne Cox talk aboutContinue reading ““I am who I am, I am my own special creation.””

Recognising the importance of LGBTQ people in the media

As anyone who knows me will know, one of my biggest happy times of the year is when I get to go to a Sci-Fi convention. I get to see old friends, make new ones and meet the people in the shows/behind the books that I love.  Even when a convention can people me outContinue reading “Recognising the importance of LGBTQ people in the media”

Let’s not forget that there are more parts to the Queer community than just the one(s) we belong to

I have been asked on occasion how my Genderqueer identity and my Lesbian identity are not in conflict.  My answer is always simple, my gender and my sexuality are not the same thing, although, working together in harmony, they combine to make part of the greater whole that is me.

Suanne Braun, Nicole deBoer and Neve McIntosh or I love the women of sci fi and the actors behind the characters

I am a geek, there’s no denying it. There’s no denying my past or my sexuality either. Growing up there weren’t really any lesbian characters on my screen (with the exception of Bad Girls) so I turned to Sci Fi television and any books I could to find strong women to look up to, Stargate,Continue reading “Suanne Braun, Nicole deBoer and Neve McIntosh or I love the women of sci fi and the actors behind the characters”

Calling all Liz Vassey, Christina Cox and Nikki & Nora fans – Nikki & Nora need your help

So if you belong to any section of Lesbian (or possibly even LGBTQ fandom) and you like Cop shows, you’ve probably no doubt heard of a show that didn’t even make it to air, called Nikki & Nora.  In fact you’re like many of the legion of fans the show has, you have found aContinue reading “Calling all Liz Vassey, Christina Cox and Nikki & Nora fans – Nikki & Nora need your help”

Feminism and what it’s not about – a letter to Julie Burchill

Dear Julie Burchill, I’d like to take this moment to explain something to you that I don’t think you quite understand.  Feminism.  Feminism is not about belittling other people.  It is not about humiliating and mudslinging other groups.  It is not about taking out your feelings on people just so you can feel better aboutContinue reading “Feminism and what it’s not about – a letter to Julie Burchill”
