Alternate ways to think about gender dysphoria, gender identity, retransition, detransition and transgender issues from a former trans woman and psychology grad student. The obstacles presented by ideology in discussing trans issues. Jonathan Hadit, who is one of my favorite psychological writers, studies moral reasoning. He wrote an excellent book about it called The Righteous Mind. In the therapy world we are also concerned with the biases of therapist interfering with the therapy and making it hard to...

Mirror Sister: January 2012
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 January 2012. Journey to the centre of gender. What a mystery, what a rich, extraordinary, baffling mystery all this gender and sexuality business is. It's a real mystery. Gender and sexuality do exist. They are not in themselves constructions, however much we construct within them. They are obviously central to our being. What a vast cave to explore. And what do we know? We start without guides, not really knowing even how to explore. We are right to be in awe. Posted by Deborah Kate. See the...

Mirror Sister: October 2011
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 October 2011. I had a beautiful garden all to myself, where fantasy and reality were one, desire and satisfaction were one. One day I was approached by a serpent. It raised in me a new kind of desire; one that could only be satisfied at terrible cost. What was I to do? I was unprepared, for I had lived in a garden where neither fear nor restraint existed. I let the serpent enter me. This was a new sort of pleasure: wicked. But the punishment for wickedness is not sexy; it is horribly prosaic.

Mirror Sister: November 2011
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 November 2011. Hats off to Jack Molay. Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to doff your headwear to a splendid human being, Jack Molay. Those of us who identify as crossdreamers owe not just what community we have to Jack; we owe our very identity as crossdreamers to him. For it was Jack who conceived the very term. Mnay crossdreamers, like myself, first encounter the concept of crossdreaming through reading Jack's popular Crossdreamers. Beyond the forum, Jack has done a lot to promote to pr...

Mirror Sister: Thoughts
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2012/08/thoughts.html
Thursday, 30 August 2012. I am wondering whether Mirror Sister. I probably won't go without saying a proper goodbye. And maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow, and start posting regularly again. I have avoided getting drawn into trans politics and theory here, as I don't enjoy the antagonism, or think of it as helpful to anybody. Nevertheless, I do have some thoughts. Here they are:. Rather than fight over scientific/philosophical truth, it is better for us to respect others' choice of beliefs about themsel...

Mirror Sister: Femininity, creativity, sunshine
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2012/07/femininity-creativity-sunshine.html
Saturday, 21 July 2012. Femininity, creativity, sunshine. The sun is shining. There is no breeze, few clouds in the sky. I want to walk barefoot on the grass. I want to be Deborah out in the sunshine, not stuck inside a computer. I want my femininity to feel as natural as the sunshine. Much threatens to crowd out the sunshine. If I read the news, turn on the televsion, the negativity of life as we are living it collectively will encroach. I shall take my book The New Diary. Posted by Deborah Kate. Online...

Mirror Sister: July 2012
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 July 2012. I've called you into my study today because I have some special news for you about your child, which I wanted to tell you in person. I know it is going to make you feel very excited and proud. We've been observing your child's attitudes and behaviour for a while. Well, we haven't come to this conclusion lightly, I can tell you, but, hard as it might be to believe, we are now of the confirmed opinion that your child is trans. Can it be true? Yes, we're certain. Oh my, oh my! Much t...

Mirror Sister: June 2012
http://mirrorsister.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 June 2012. This post is not overtly about trans, but all of us have been to school, and all of us have survived and asserted our individually surely very much in spite of our schools. For me, the worst - and in retrospect the most depressing - aspect of school was the pupils' own culture, developed independently of, often in defiance of, what the teachers were striving to create. Mine was an all-boys school (or so they thought! Posted by Deborah Kate. Saturday, 23 June 2012. All those dull soc...
