Nine Women Who Would Be Awesome Playing The Doctor
February 29th, 2012 
Natalie Reed Pretty much ever since the Tom Baker years, people have speculated on the possibility of The Doctor regenerating into a woman. And last series, in the jaw-droppingly awesome episode, “The Doctor’s Wife”, penned by none other than Neil Gaiman himself, it was finally canonically confirmed that a Time Lord can indeed become a Time Lady, [...]
Why I Love Doctor Who
February 29th, 2012 Natalie Reed You know, I hate to admit it , but despite appearances my geek credentials aren’t nearly as solid as they look. (who am I kidding? I don’t actually mind admitting it at all) I’m just not really all that into it all. I’m a mac user, and not a particularly talented one, and generally find [...]
Oh, And About That Bechdel Test? (And Another Cool Link!)
February 28th, 2012 Natalie Reed … how many fictional films have EVER featured two trans women discussing something other than gender, presentation or men? …how many have even featured more than one named trans character at all?!
Seven Things About Being Trans That Are Actually Kind of Awesome
February 28th, 2012 Natalie Reed You know what? This blog is a fucking downer a lot of the time. Now, I do what I do for some pretty specific reasons. We’re at the cusp of a very exciting shift in the trans rights movement. Over pretty much just the last year and a half, we have quite suddenly become visible. [...]

February 28th, 2012 Natalie Reed One of the often jarring things about being a trans feminist, or even just being a trans person who enjoys participating in discussions of feminism and gender theory, is how you’ll sometimes come across cis people using the existence of trans people to prove some point or another. One way or the other, any theory [...]
Bechdel Test At The Oscars, And A Fun Link
February 27th, 2012 Natalie Reed Special extra third post today! Lucky everyone! Here’s a cool video from Feminist Frequency that I felt worth sharing, applying the Bechdel Test (asking whether female characters are relevant to a film by checking if two female characters, with names, have an interaction with each other that isn’t about a man) to the 2011 Oscar [...]
Human Beauty
February 27th, 2012 Natalie Reed One thing I’ve been having a bit of trouble with lately is trying to negotiate some kind of balance between what I’ve come to understand about how perceptions of beauty are mediated by social and cultural convention against the fact that ultimately, I really rather do appreciate the beauty of the human form, of people. [...]
Catches Twenty-Two
February 27th, 2012 Natalie Reed We were chatting in our top secret and amazingly awesome backchannel, full of such incredible wit and delightful banter that you shall never ever know, about how some folks over at an intelligent design website called Uncommon Descent decided to do a bit of a breakdown of the whole Loftus thing, propping it up (in [...]
Lazy Sunday: Can We Start Again?
February 26th, 2012 Natalie Reed So, this is one of my absolute favourite songs, “Can We Start Again?” by Tindersticks. Coincidentally, it also happens to have a really clever, brilliant music video: Much like with “I’m Not A Fucking Drag Queen”, your challenge this week, should you choose to accept it, worth +15 internet points, is to figure out what [...]
