This is a blog on the topic of gender. If I ever decide to blog about other things, I will get a separate page for that.
In the process of changing my own gender (what, was I EVER female?), I got fascinated with the topic of gender. I do blog about my own personal experiences, the day-to-day triumphs and irritations of transition, but I also write opinion pieces and semi-intelligible philosophical verbosity about other gender-creative people besides me, and gender in general.
In case anyone's wondering who didn't catch the bit where I explained my screen name among a lot of other stuff, calon llew is Welsh for heart of a lion. I'm a Leo who is just beginning to grow into being more Leoish, I've always liked big cats and other carnivores, ditto the Welsh language and other Celtic stuff, and the association with Richard Lionheart is appropriate to my interest in weapons, medieval stuff, and adventure. Although there are certain other connotations of Richard Lionheart I could do without. What the fuck. Some other things I didn't realize about the screen name when I chose it, but they only make it more appropriate. Llew is also an alternate spelling of Lleu, the Welsh name for one of my favorite gods, same as Lugh in Irish. His name is also distantly related to Lewis, the most recent Welsh surname in my family.
Sorry, what were you saying? I was busy thinking about sex.
