2015 Review : June - October

Even during a summer break I can't crack a smile.

JUNE

Probably my least favourite month of this year. I only posted about 3 blogs throughout the summer and they were quite controversial. Although my blog on Facebook's use of the pride flag was incredibly popular (The highest page views out of any of my posts) I remember June mostly for this....

Not much to say about this one, just lots of juicy stories for you to sink your teeth into surrounding a night out in Bristol and my first real taste of twitter trolls.

JULY

I took the summer off to work on some other projects (which are still coming) so there's only one thing I can post here, it's part one of my coming out vlog...

I'm amazed looking back how far I feel I've come since then, it makes me excited and nervous to see what the next 6 months will bring.

AUGUST

I did nothing in August. Too busy sleeping and working, pretend I wrote some amazing expose' on the Government or something

SEPTEMBER

I only wrote one real piece in September. It's all about representation of trans people in the media. Mostly how the media portrays trans lives and some ways in which we can move in a positive direction.....

I quite like this piece, it's something I feel could be expanded a little more in a vlog or some form of group chat, but as a small off the cuff thing I'm ok with it.

OCTOBER

October was going to be my month of genderfluid stuff. While I had some big plans for it I have been hit with more responsibilities at work making my blog writing time significantly less. I did however put together this little piece....

One of the things I find when speaking to people who I.D as GF, especially those who are not open about it is the sense of feeling torn. This can lead to resentment and anger towards ones self , something that I've experienced quite a few times in my life. Since writing this piece I feel I have a much clearer image of where I'm going and what I need to do.

So that's June to October. This was possibly the difficult period for my blog but I take every opportunity as a chance to learn something new. Come back on Monday for the last two months and some final thoughts

Look how happy I am
