The new #AutostraddleMerch store is open for business and full of new stuff!
This is part of why it’s so important to have trans people on your team when you’re making shows about trans people. Every time I think about the fact that it’s going to air tonight it gives me a knot in my stomach.
I think it’s true for a lot of our readers that Autostraddle was the only space where they could engage on whatever topic was being discussed with only other queer people, and talk to people about their stuff. I don’t think people ever max out on having conversations with other people who are like them. Everybody craves it and needs it, and we’ve been really honored to make a space for that.
I came out to my Dad on the driveway of my student house while waiting for the Landlady to show up with the keys thinking that this would get it out of the way and moving my stuff in would be a distraction. She was an hour late.
In conclusion, thank you Canadian Queer Recording Artists.
Then my mom told me she had slept with a girl before. And that she thought Halle Berry was hot.
I’m glad I changed. I’m glad I finally did this thing I wanted to do and quieted all the clamoring in my heart about it. I’m glad I became a million people, a tiny piece of dust, a more experienced driver and the kind of person who watches cable television and eats chinese food in a Motel 6 instead of exploring the city she’s gonna be in for just 24 hours. I’m glad I’m here without half of the things I thought I’d miss but now I can’t remember and all the clothes Soph hasn’t brought me yet and all the memories I haven’t unpacked. I’m glad I’m starting over. I’m glad I left. I’m glad I made it. I’m glad I changed, over and over and over again with each continental breakfast and scenic route and tourist attraction.
