And it would Not Bloody Help, were I to end up in a situation with one of them, for people, afterwards, to say 'oh yeah, we knew he was rotten.'

Every so often I see people in academia talking about how we 'all know' who not to trust, and I'm like - I do not know. I have never been in these conversations, for whatever reason. We do not 'all know' about the predators.

I have been coerced into not cheering against them by my English missus, but it's against my natural instincts.

I got a weird sense off this book when I opened it (do not read trans books written by cis people if you can help it, I guess) and the further I went on the more annoyed I got.

Skimminng through a book on non-binary identities which: a) insists on referring to people as AMAB or AFAB instead of just referencing body formations; and b) says that 'almost all interviewees identify themselves as biologically male or female [excepting one intersex person].' PASS.

Yes! This feels like it to me as well. Actively queering gender, which as a queer/lesbian femme is important to me.

I've been slow to grasp the label of non-binary - I prefer genderqueer - feeling like I don't qualify (even though 'femmes can be thems' etc). But then, there are no rules really, are there? The writing I'm working on at the minute is really helping to solidify that for me.

Happy Non-Binary Awareness Week! It leads up to the 14th July, which is International Non-Binary People's Day. I bought this for myself the other day without remembering that it's particularly appropriate this week (no connection to the business, just love the art and want to recommend them).

I was actually thinking of your giant puppy when we were talking! I don't think we seriously have room for two though. We live in a flat and although we have a garden, it's not big enough for two noodle horses to chase around.

Ró is all sad and sulky and we think she's missing her doggy friend that she stayed with while we were away for the wedding. We both confessed that we were considering getting another dog for the company, but then had the quick realisation that that would be 100% more greyhound than we now have 😱

Genuinely, I used to think she had some interesting things to say (amid a certain amount of batshit, sure). Leaning into 'wacky' is not going well for her.

I used to be a vague satellite of that crowd and yes, many of them have turned into raging transphobes. It's very disappointing for people who were supposed to be guided by humanism.

I voted Green! I like the Greens! I really like Carla Denyer and I am delighted she's my MP! But if you're going to be the best of the parties on LGBTQ things, pushing Labour to shore up trans rights would be a very good start.

I don't know about you, but I could live without a natural history GCSE in favour of, say, gender recognition reform, access to gender-related healthcare, committing to not shunting trans women into segregated wards, a real commitment to safeguarding and reinforcing the Equality Act...

None of the Above is a combination of life story and political memoir. Together, they provide insight into nonbinary and transfeminine existence in the UK at the minute. I was drawn to Alabanza as a fellow nonbinary person and a local, but... **transmisogynoir in the post above, I am typo monarch

Alabanza is a Black non-binary transfeminine person from a working-class background in Bristol and I love their work. They are astute and empathetic and funny and they articulate some very real truths through accessible, engaging writing. Burgerz is an account of a transphobic incident they endured.

... as pioneered by Raha and van der Drift in 2017 in the zine also named Radical Transfeminism. It discusses transmisognoir, racism, violence, and legal structures of oppression and regulation through the len of Alabanza's play Burgerz and memoir None of the Above (from which the title is taken).
