Happy International Men's Day: do I have to feel guilty now?
I don't get to just sit back and tell myself that my transness absolves me from working to dismantle the cisheteropatriarchy, but I also don't have to feel guilty about being a man.
I finally recognise myself when I look in the mirror
I used to wrap my arms around myself as though I was trying to physically hold myself together. Now I put my hands in my pockets and hold my head high.
'I, Joan' is a celebration of trans love and trans power
The audacity of loving yourself without cis people’s permission can get you killed, but there is so much power in loving yourself.
Dear Quinn: why is the term ‘identifies as’ a problem?
I do not ‘identify as’ a man; I am a man. Those two little words, as innocent as they may seem, can sometimes feel like an attack on my masculinity.
The men’s bathroom is gross, but I still want to use it
I am the transphobes' worst nightmare: a man in the women's bathroom.
Cis men can wear skirts, but I can't
Is it weak, for me to let people take away the ‘fuck your gender roles’ power of being a guy in a skirt? I used to feel so powerful.
