What makes non-binary gender real?
What makes non-binary gender real? Is it social acceptance? Is it a box on a form? Is it your decision to legally recognise it? No! Non-binary gender is real because we feel it, we are it, we LIVE it. What … Continue reading

Fears of Coming Out & How to be a Transgender Ally
One of the thing I remember most about coming out as trans was worrying about whether or not people would believe me. I felt that I had to have some sort of proof of being transgender before coming out to … Continue reading

Exclusion within our queer communities
This weekend I have had an education, and it has changed my perspective quite a lot.

Sitting on the Fence – Out and Proud!
This week I came out to several groups of friends about being androgynous, changing my name from Niamh to Naomhán, and using they/them pronouns. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive and, as a result, I feel incredible! A few months ago, … Continue reading
The Binary World that We Live In
The world that we live in loves binaries. Black and White. Right and Wrong. Old and Young. Strong and Weak. Female and Male. Gay and Straight. The list is endless. Perhaps, it can be argued, we need binaries to structure … Continue reading
