The Pandrogyne
I find Genesis Breyer P-Orridge a fascinating creature.
S/he not really “transgender” in the traditional sense, as h/ir transformation seems more philosophical in nature, rather than a matter of personal identity. Born of the belief that he and his lover1, “Lady Jaye” Breyer (who was equally obsessed with him) are both part of and exist ( Read more... ) -

I did a similar ( Read more... ) -
I'm not like other TS/TG people
My friends will (hopefully) assume that this is kind of a no-brainer; I'm not like most Mods, I wasn't like most Goths, I'm not like most people my age. I'm not like most people with anxiety disorders, in that most people seem with said are socially anxious, whereas I'm anxious in just about every situation but explicitly social ones - which makes ( Read more... ) -
The Story of Pindar

The Story of Hesiod
Once upon a time, in ancient Boeotia, there was a man named Hesiod. He lived with his father in the town of Askra, which Hesiod hated. Originally, Hesiod’s father was from Cyme, a city in Aeolis once claimed to be Aeolis’ largest and most important city - so I can see why Hesiod hated it in Askra, which was small, rural, and largely insignificant ( Read more... ) -
Why my birthday is amazing and yours is not
22 July is a day of many things - of shoes and ships and ceiling-wax, of cabbages and kings. Here are some amazing facts about my birthday!
*The year I was born (according to HMEPA), 22 July was 7 Hekatombion (Attic calendar) or 7 Ippodromios (Boeotian) - the seventh day of the Lunar month being sacred to Apollon.
*My actual “due date” was ten days ( Read more... )
