December 2022: Monthly Social

[virgosplaining]

12/02/2022 - 12/04/2022

Good day! One of the things I wanted to start around here is a monthly get-together to get to know each other and chat about what we please. I'm going to try to make this every first Friday of each month. In the future I might devise more specific themes, but for this round I'd love to do an almost friending-meme sort of post. For everyone who doesn't want to post a separate post for an introduction, please come here!

Otherwise, free for all! Got trans artists & art to recommend? Want to share your own? Want to talk transition? Got fun anecdotes to share? Go on to your heart's content!

Hi, I'm Robin (nb, they/them). Really happy to have come across this community - thank you! I'm mostly on DW for fannish reasons, with Our Flag Means Death being my major fandom at the moment, but I also post periodically about non-fannish media interests and real life.

I've been identifying as genderqueer since I was a teenager, but what that's looked like has shifted over the years and I'm still jostling at some barriers of what I'd like to access but can't easily, and what I can access easily but have a feeling I probably shouldn't.

In terms of trans and nonbinary reading at the moment, I'm halfway through The Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care, edited by Zena Sharman, which I'd so far recommend to anyone interested in the topic, especially anyone looking for some Canadian content. It's a great collection of pieces from folks who've walked through health care systems as patients, practitioners, and everything in between, with works ranging from poetry to profiles on innovative programs to reflective essays.
