About me

Hi, my name’s Tristan. I'm a trans writer. The title “Tragic Gender Story” comes from a sarcastic song I wrote once about the way transgender stories are portrayed in the media. I can’t force mainstream news media to start talking about transgender people in a sensible way, but I can share my own story and hope to get a nice butterfly effect going.

Many of my posts will be about gender identity, but lots will be about disability rights too. I may also talk about other social justice-type things and anything that strikes my fancy.

I might use some vocabulary that you're unfamiliar with. Please check out the "Trans 101" and "Other Vocabulary" links at the top right if you need an explanation. There's also a content warning page up there if you're concerned about upsetting or triggering content.
