Therefore, I am presenting an excerpt from Teeny Weenies and Other Short Subjects, written when I was not so exhausted. Remember, Teeny Weenies is available in paperback, e-book, and Kindle format.

A reader writes: “I’m an author who wishes to include a trans person in her fictional writings. I fear I know little to nothing about trans people as a whole, however. “And while I believe trans people should be treated as people, I also don’t want to write a woman as cis and then claim [...]

While Nebraska might be a nice place to visit (or drive through on I-80), it can prove intimidating for trans people who are all too familiar with the murder of Brandon Teena near Humboldt. But now a positive story comes out of the Heartland (and the state of my birth). Author, speaker, activist, and trans [...]

For the past three days, I have been on death’s doorstep, and it’s kinda scary because I think ze is making chocolate chip cookies and I can smell them from out here – very inviting! That’s a slight exaggeration (I hope), but I have, in fact, been quite sick. And no, it’s not because I [...]

In 2003, photographer Jana Marcus started photographing and interviewing trans people for a small photo exhibit. She didn’t know at the time that the exhibit would grow into a major project, Transfigurations, that would travel to galleries around the country for several years and receive prestigious awards and universal praise. Transfigurations has recently been released [...]

A reader writes: “My question came to me when I read your interview with Nick Krieger. The book is my launching pad but it’s general enough that I didn’t want to derail the thread by asking there. I think it’s great that Nick’s book is getting such good reviews, and it sounds like an excellent [...]
‘Nina Here Nor There’: An Interview with Nick Krieger
Posted in Information, Interviews, News, tagged books, gender expression, gender identity, gender roles, identity, trans men, transition on October 27, 2011 | 10 Comments »
Travel writer Nick Krieger’s memoir, Nina Here Nor There: My Journey Beyond Gender, was released earlier this year to rave reviews, in part because it presented a side of gender experience that is usually absent in traditional trans narratives. The title reflects Krieger’s refusal to follow the Western binary-gender model that requires the adoption of [...]

Since we recently talked about trans support groups (if you missed that discussion, I invite you to read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3), I thought that, in addition to today’s Ask Matt (see the post below), I would offer up an excerpt from my book-in-the-works. I present this experience in the hope that [...]
