Month: April 2009

Hey y’allAnother week flits by eh? Last Saturday was Record Store Day. A special event in the UK celebrating the diversity of music available at your local music shop… At least, one in the eyes of the indie retailers. It’ not like we had flags and street parties. Hell, we didn’t manage the latter on St George’s Day (although I’m guessing we [Brits] did drink a lot 😀 ). I must confess, the whole record shop thing passed me by in the rush that is the family weekend. Y’know – trips to the park, lunch, a shufti* around town and then home for a lark in the garden, tea and bed. After that, maybe a spot of blogging and a […]

Hi peeps, I read about some new research that was quoted on Rose’s Forum earlier in the week. The link takes you to a discussion about the findings and how some parts of it go against earlier research. I’ll give you a brief sound bite (below) although that clearly doesn’t do the full article justice: “What this study does do, however, is add to the increasing evidence that there are some detectable neurological differences in the brains of transgendered people. We’re just not in a position to say much about the significance of this yet.“ How does one define ‘transgendered’? Hell, most of us TG folk can’t agree on labels, I wonder how the scientific community managed? 🙂 Snippy comments […]

Hi, Bit of a last minute post today. It being a bank holiday – yay! – we’ve been out and about letting the kids run of their energy and for the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones and I to top up the feel good batteries. I don’t know about your blogging process, but I try and store up ideas or even just things I’d like – or even may like – to talk about during the week. This week, though, well… ‘meh’ really 🙂 Monday through to Wednesday I just wasn’t with it. It wasn’t like there was anything physically wrong, I just couldn’t – and to use a 90s phrase – “get my sh** together.” 🙂 My heart just wasn’t […]

Hey all, I did say and – well, some of you did ask (wink) – so here’s one from the photoshoot. It’ll be here for a short while. Oh, the vanity… and paranoia! 🙂 Should have smiled more, but hey, there’s always Photoshop 🙂 I may add some of the others later on, but for now, that’ll do.

Hey y’all, Once in a while, the all-seeing eye of The Media scans over our little subcultural havens. Sometimes folk are after a lighthearted look at we trans folk- something for the coffee table magazines perhaps. Anyhoo, earlier in the month a similar request dropped into my inbox. It was from a soon-to-be-launched magazine – LGBT focused at that – and, unless I got the wrong end of the stick, was for students by students. A worthy cause in my humble opinion as it gives folk work experience on the real deal and from a TG point of view, if one person reads the article and gets some hope from it, then it can’t be a bad thing right?I exchanged […]
