Becoming Who We Are: Real Stories About Growing Up Trans

Sasha at the Gym
A nice, solid T4T story where two happen to meet late night at the gym. They hook up and decide to keep seeing each other, despite how weird Sasha is sometimes… I’m a fan of Otava Heikkilä, ever since Shattered Spear and Letters for Lucardo. I’m actually ordering the rest of the Letters for Lucardo

778 Days
A simple, strong opening that delves into the struggle of being transmasculine. Having to reconcile the former feminine with the awareness of the inherent privilege of being a passing man, the preconceptions of the effects of testosterone on the body, the extremes of dysphoria, and remembering the past. It’s short, it’s sweet, and it’s a

The Unsinkable Ship of Fools
Fuck Capitalism and then Fuck Each Other The author lives that pure anarchist punk life and fuck, dude, I honestly think that they got it right.

Ice Cream Man: Sundae Edition, Vol. 1
“I’ve literally never read anything like this ‘genre-defying’ sorta-anthology thing, but it’s f*cking awesome. The writing is strange and deeply unsettling, and the artwork is gorgeous.

Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
