My writing - elsewhere on the Internet

I've been meaning to set up a website that collects all my work in one place, but for now, it's all below.

*** NEW BLOG ***
I've started a new blog entitled Adventures of a Good Citizen. It will be updated more frequently than this one, being a space for my reflections on books I read, films I watch, gigs or exhibitions I go to, experiences I have signing on in Tower Hamlets or navigating space in Britain.

I have an essay in a book called 'The Flexible Sex', published in German and English by the Bundeszentrale fur politische Bildung. There are chapters by Rosi Braidotti, Heidi Safia Mirza, Clare Hemmings and others as well as my 'Conundrum: The Dilemmas of Transsexual Narratives'. You can access the e-book here.

My Transgender Journey series (Guardian) is here.
