Out and About: The Didactic Express, Day 18
So as you may well have gathered from the previous handful of posts, I have become increasingly bold in terms of my gender expression. Facilitating this transition has been the fact that, for some reason, a local discount shoe retailer … Continue reading
Reunion: The Didactic Express, Day 17
My psychiatrist is labouring under the misapprehension that I am an ‘interesting person;’ further to this, she seems to believe that my refusal to acknowledge that other people might see me as such is systematically sabotaging my ability to interact … Continue reading

Could This Possibly Be Authentic?
This Comedy Central video has been making the rounds amongst my friends. The woman it depicts is, ostensibly, a Republican party strategist by the name of Noelle Nikpour. Now, I have very little faith in the basic scientific literacy of … Continue reading
Easing Interactions: The Didactic Express, Day 16

Rotten Day: The Didactic Express, Day 14
Nominatissima has generously granted me the use of her laptop for the writing of this entry. I can’t use my own, because the screen, somehow, appears to have developed several parallel vertical lines filled with dead pixels, turning it’s display … Continue reading
The Good Kind of Pain (is Still Painful): The Didactic Express, Day 13
Today, following on the advice of one of my readers, I had my first laser hair removal treatment. As per the clinician’s recommendation, I slathered my face up in a topical anasthetic about forty minutes before the treatment began. “Remember … Continue reading

Stephen Harper Wants A Cookie
So if you have been following Canadian politics over the last six years or so (and if you have been doing so with more than sixty percent of your brain actually functioning), it will likely come as a great shock … Continue reading
