Gender Dysphoria
When you look in the mirror, who do you see? For most people, the answer is ourselves. However, for many, there is a different answer. Occasionally, a person sees someone in the mirror who isn’t who they are at all. How can this be the case? Sometimes, things in nature aren’t quite so cut and…

Am I Blue?
Am I Blue? For me, blue has had the connotation of gender for as long as I have lived. In fact, this notion goes back to a time when gender was perhaps the first thing that defined one’s role in the world. I am certainly glad I live in the here and now than in…
