“people often describe the journey of transsexual people as a passage through the sexes, from manhood to womanhood, from male to female, from boy to girl. that simplifies a complicated journey of self-discovery that goes way beyond gender and genitalia.

my passage was an evolution from me to closer-to-me-ness. it’s a journey of self-revelation. undergoing hormone therapy and genital reconstruction surgery and traveling sixty-six hundred miles from hawaii to thailand are the titillating details that cis people love to hear. they’re deeply personal steps i took to become closer to me, and i choose to share them. i didn’t hustle those streets and fight the maturation of my body merely to get a vagina. i sought something grander than the changing of genitalia. i was seeking reconciliation with myself.”

The 10 Best Queer Memoirs of All Time

I’m back again with another best of all time list for Pride month! This time, I’m going to be talking about the 10 best queer memoirs of all time. These memoirs oftentimes defy traditional narrative structure, mixing genres and infusing even the writing itself with a queerness just as palpable as that of the writers themselves. Strong disclaimer that this list only includes books I’ve actually…

Daily Quote

"I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act. It is an act that can be met with hostility, exclusion and violence. It can also lead to love, understanding, transcendence and community." — Janet Mock

Profiles of Pride: June 11th! 🏳️‍🌈Janet Mock🏳️‍🌈

Janet Mock (born March 10, 1983) is an American writer, television host, director, producer and transgender rights activist. Her debut book, the memoir Redefining Realness, became a New York Times bestseller. She is a contributing editor for Marie Claire and a former staff editor of People magazine's website.

Mock began her transition in her first year of high school, and funded her medical transition by earning money as a sex worker in her teens. At the age of fifteen, Mock was introduced to the world of sex work. Mocks says, "I went dressed up with my friends; we hung out with older girls, and when I say older girls I was 15 and some of them were 18 to 25, but they were light-years ahead of us in terms of their identities and their own transitions, of their confidence in their bodies, of proclaiming themselves to themselves and to one another. It was deeply a space of sisterhood and socializing for me." The sex worker experience, although it brings "deep sadness", was her means of survival as a trans person of color. She played volleyball in high school, a sport she had bonded over with her childhood friend Wendi, who helped Mock express her femininity. Mock explains that when she first met Wendi, she asked if Mock was a māhū. Mock describes māhū as "a label for those who live outside of the gender binary." She also added that her hula instructor at the time was a māhū, or trans woman. She chose her name Janet after Janet Jackson.

She was the first person in her family to go to college. She underwent gender confirming surgery in Thailand at the age of 18 in the middle of her first year in college. Mock earned a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Merchandising from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 2004 and a Master of Arts in Journalism from New York University in 2006.

In 2012, Mock started a Twitter hashtag to empower transgender women, called #GirlsLikeUs, which received attention from several queer-media sites. Also in 2012, she gave the Lavender Commencement keynote speech honoring LGBT students at the University of Southern California and delivered the commencement address for Pitzer College in 2015. She also served as co-chair, nominee and presenter at the 2012 GLAAD Media Awards.

In June 2013, Mock joined the board of directors of the Arcus Foundation, a charitable foundation focused on great ape conservation and LGBT rights.

In 2014, following the conviction of activist (and transgender woman of color) Monica Jones, Mock joined a campaign against a Phoenix law that allows police to arrest anyone suspected of "prostitution", which targets transgender women of color. Mock tweeted, "Speak against the profiling of #TWOC [trans woman of color], like Monica Jones. Tweet #StandWithMonica + follow @SWOPPhx [Sex Workers Outreach Project – Phoenix Chapter] now!"

quickly repinned it to taper it in, and i think thats made the world of difference!

im not sure how obvious it is for you, but im doing a LOT less manipulating on the top to get this shape. it feels a lot smoother & rounded now! i think this is the right track.

im not sure how much more i can actually do until my boning arrives as this wont support weight for a SECOND, so i cant get an idea of final silhouette... so now we wait.

what do yall think about this? going in the right direction?

[blood-choke]

Don’t know if this has been asked before but do u have any book recs for exploring butch identity, lesbian-ism, and queerness in general? Love your work by the way! Both blood choke and northern passage are my top favs right now and the way you navigate and explore gender identity is just chefs kiss

thank you!

i've recommended a few books here and there... stone butch blues, obviously, and then s/he by minnie bruce pratt, the persistent desire: a butch/femme reader, transgender warriors by leslie feinberg, whipping girl by julia serano, sister outsider by audre lorde, we both laughed in pleasure by lou sullivan, gender outlaw by kate bornstein... some of these are dated of course but still worth the read. when it comes to reading dated queer literature i always approach it with compassion and remind myself that the community was different back then, and the community will be different twenty years from now, and that it's worthwhile to understand these differences and respect them. also a lot of these authors have huge catalogues of work, i'm just suggesting their more well-known pieces.

some more "modern" books i'd suggest are gender failure by ivan coyote and rae spoon, tomboy survival guide by ivan coyote, black on both sides: a racial history of trans identity by c. riley snorton, hijab butch blues by lamya h, the will to change: men, masculinity, and love by bell hooks, miss major speaks with toshio meronek, my lesbian experience with loneliness by kabi nagata, burning butch by r/b mertz, the secret diaries of miss anne lister (not modern but the presentation is)

i haven't read all of these myself, most of these are lifted right from my to read shelf, but hopefully you see something that interests you! also keep an eye out for content warnings, i think a few of these are pretty heavy reads.

for the older work i always suggest checking if it's on the internet archive (i think almost if not all of them are, i'm just too lazy to look and link them myself rn) there's also the digital transgender archives which are fun to explore!

"a canon character other than the Drakes is Tim's bio parent" is a fun sandbox to play in but the half-joking focus fandom gives it due specifically to Jack & Janet having inconsistent hair colors (Crystal does too, guys) drives me up the wall a bit.

My hair is currently purple and blue. Purple and blue. Do you really really really think it is that improbable that Janet Drake has tried out different 'natural' hair colors through the magic of bleach and dye?

Do you really think it's so improbable that Jack has? Especially since he went gray during the coma?
