Even though I’m a little late on finding out about this, details concerning this story are a bit sketchy at the moment, and my google fu is sadly failing me to be able to find much (if any) reporting on the subject, but it appears that recent amendments to the Canadian Aeronautics Act, the laws [...]

How I Became An Atheist
January 31st, 2012 Natalie Reed I’ve been following and enjoying Pharyngula’s “Why I’m An Atheist” posts for the last few months. I think they’re great, and really give a wonderful view into the diverse, personal paths through which we all find ourselves at this position, and have managed to move beyond the comforts and security of religious belief. Many of [...]
Passability And The Toupée Fallacy
January 30th, 2012 Natalie Reed So, I wanted to take a moment to briefly look at one of the more common logical fallacies I encounter in terms of people’s perceptions of trans people. Although it’s a pretty simple fallacy, and the kind that once explained suddenly seems embarrassingly obvious, it nonetheless ends up having some pretty severe consequences for trans [...]
Phytoestrogens and Natural Transition
January 30th, 2012 Natalie Reed So I’m at this Christmas party thingy for a trans support group last month, and I’m catching up with a girl I know, and she begins asking me weird, akward-ish questions, like “how are your boobs doing?” These kinds of things tend to go with the territory at trans support groups. Providing my usual evasive, [...]

January 28th, 2012 Natalie Reed I would prefer to take my weekends off, but last night, this happened.
Saturday Re-Cap! Recapurday?
January 28th, 2012 Natalie Reed So… between my increased output since the move to FTB, and the way the format here makes it a bit easier for things to fall through the cracks, I’ve decided I’m going to be doing a little quick round-up of the week’s posts on Saturdays. Possibly with some kind of Anti-Caturday element being involved. Tardigradurday? [...]
Whose Transsexual Summer?
January 27th, 2012 Natalie Reed Back in the fall, a documentary mini-series called My Transsexual Summer aired in the UK on Channel 4. It covered the day-to-day lives of four young trans people as they went about…well… being trans. This was generally advertised as a groundbreaking look at the realities of lived trans experience and an educational, non-judgmental look at [...]
Talkin’ ‘Bout My S-S-S-Socialization
January 27th, 2012 Natalie Reed So a little while ago a twitter-friend of mine, LifeInNeon, linked this interesting post by When Cylons Dream (a bit nsfw) over at her blog, on the question of trans women’s socialization (the manner in which we were / are raised, relative to gender). I found it very interesting and wanted to share. Yesterday, in [...]
Ask Me Stuff!
January 26th, 2012 Natalie Reed Hi guys! So, around this time next week I’m going to be putting up a little meta-oriented FAQ and comment policy post, providing information about this blog, the…um… comment policy, and generally answering whatever questions people may have, whatever thingies and stuff they want to know. But in order to do that, I’d kind of [...]
