How I Learned to Take Pride in Who I Am
Title: How I Learned to Take Pride in Who I Am Introduction: The Search for IdentityFrom childhood to adulthood, we are constantly bombarded with messages about who we should be. The pressure to conform to social and cultural norms, family expectations, and other standards can cause us to forget who we really are. This is the story of how I finally learned to be proud of who I am, let go of shame, and embrace my authentic self. It’s not just my journey—but one many of us share in different ways.

Thoughts on a Day Marked
Yesterday was Trans Day of Visibility. It was a day of mourning and grief for many of us, grief for those who are no longer here to be seen—those who did not survive their visibility. Love and power to my resting comrades, young and old.

The War Hero and the Villain. AI-Generated.
The plains of Veyrath stretched wide and scarred beneath a sky heavy with smoke. Once a land of golden fields and bustling hamlets, it was now a graveyard of shattered steel and broken dreams. The War of the Three Crowns had raged for a decade, pitting kingdom against kingdom in a relentless struggle for dominion. At its heart stood two figures: Captain Aric Veyne, the war hero of the Dawn Legion, and Lord Drayce Korr, the villain whose name was a curse on every tongue.

Resist the Regression. Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us. - Marsha P. Johnson Too often, the act of gendering is a danger to people. All people, even if they don’t identify as trans or non-binary. The fact of the matter is that the sex and gender binary is deadly and intentionally so. If it’s not killing you physically, it is killing you spiritually. It is killing your humanity, killing your self-love and expression, and killing your self-discovery and potential. It leaves little to the imagination, trapping our minds with only certain tools: stereotypes and assumptions. Fear is bred here.

An Intersex Story and Sport
As a child, my earliest memories were being taken to the "sick kids" hospital in Edinburgh. I wasn't dying, but I was and still am, a peculiarity, I'm intersex, or to be more specific I have an Intersex condition called Klinefelter's syndrome. I was a peculiarity in the Endocrinology department of the Hospital, but I was also a peculiarity because I was in the hospital for the condition in the first place. You see, most people with Klinefelter's don't find out until they're in their 30's or 40's, when they're trying to have kids. There I was, a kid, in the hospital, being poked and prodded, fully aware of what I was in the wide scheme of things.

It is Too Early to Celebrate Women In Tech
Technology has transformed every aspect of human life, and women have played a crucial role in shaping this digital revolution. However, while the industry boasts of progress in gender diversity, the harsh reality remains: it is too early to celebrate women in tech. The numbers, biases, and systemic barriers reveal that there is still a long way to go before women can truly claim equal space in the industry.
