2004 when i was in high school, i powerlifted and crude peers joked that my "tits would get hard." this didn't seem like a problem to me, but i knew what they intended to mean—small breasts, flat, more like pecs, defined and masculine. how derogatory of a woman. unfitting and disgusting. my irreverence toward gendered expectations bristled, challenged, and disturbed some. it excited others.

Protect The Dolls
On April 16, 2025, the UK Supreme Court ruled that the "legal definition" of a woman is based on biological sex. Despite stating that transgender people are protected from discrimination under UK law, the Supreme Court continues to put forward laws that directly impact their safety.

Scottie
Scott Monroe Baker was made of sunlight and stardust. And he was my best friend. We spent much of our youth together, tripping in and out of each other’s lives, living together, travelling separately, sending letters, meeting up again with open arms.

'Elbows up!' me hearties
I’m not a born Canadian, but have long been a citizen. I’ve never fully adopted all things Canadian as I’ve kept very much in touch with, and often visit, my home of origin. The most Canadian I’ve ever felt for all these years has been when I’m in another country and everyone assumes I’m American. Now, there’s absolutely nothing at all wrong with being American, but it kind of rankles with many who go to great lengths to ensure a red maple leaf, or the Canadian flag, is somewhere on their person or luggage.

Being Your Own Change!!
Today I started my online training to be an advocate for STAR® (Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response). I took about 2 hours to read and watch videos on the history of not just STAR® but also on the movement against Sexual Violence. This first few parts of my training culminated with a great Ted Talk by Tarana Burke who coined the term #MeToo. It's been a long road to even get as far as we have in the fight against Sexual Violence be it Rape, Domestic Violence, Workplace Harassment or Stalking. I watched some videos about the early movement of awareness and response with woman such as Gloria Steinem, Barbara Jordan, and Dianne Feinstein. There was also a great Ted Talk by Jackson Katz about Violence against women being a man's issue. (Included below)

Resist the Regression. Content Warning.
No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us. - Marsha P. Johnson Too often, the act of gendering is a danger to people. All people, even if they don’t identify as trans or non-binary. The fact of the matter is that the sex and gender binary is deadly and intentionally so. If it’s not killing you physically, it is killing you spiritually. It is killing your humanity, killing your self-love and expression, and killing your self-discovery and potential. It leaves little to the imagination, trapping our minds with only certain tools: stereotypes and assumptions. Fear is bred here.

Advice From A Stranger
The world sees the Stonewall Inn as a historical gem, the place where the gay rights movement started. Many queer people that live in the city see it as a quaint place and somewhere for everyone to meet and pregame before going to another club. But I see it as a hangout place, somewhere I can go and catch a drag show or dance to music without worry.

Comeback
When I first started thinking about this challenge, I thought about the word renewal. The end of my 22 year marriage last year had me feeling all kinds of ways that were both dysregulating and exhausting, and my initial thought was that I should focus on rebirth, starting over as something and someone less stressed, less broken, and less worn down. My kids deserve a primary parent who can match their energy and respond to their needs with more patience, and the way things were going left me wanting to better figure out how to again be that dad that they deserve. These goals, however, didn't really seem like enough. An important baseline, perhaps, but what else could I aim for?
