Croatia Beckons
Freshly returned from România, now off to Croatia for a week, most of which will be work. Some play. And some (finishing my late BCC2025 write-up for a start) a combination of the two. I don’t yet have a great feel for the level of open acceptance of the non-binary in Croatia. The larger cities…

BCC2025 Diary – Part 2
Day 0 – Sunday Sunday is insanely busy. It’s going to be an approximately 760km round trip of over 10 hours driving. But I like a challenge. We’re heading outside the capital into less cosmopolitan territory. And one of the stops is a Catholic Cathedral (for historical rather than religious interest). So a significantly more…

Happy Sophie-Day

Accompanied and supported by my amazing friend Indie, without whom Sophie might never have been more than an idea never realised because of fear and lack of confidence. Fear doesn’t even really convey it;…

Having singularly failed to obtain tickets for the event itself in Liverpool, I am instead travelling with some friends to the great City of Manchester to watch on a big screen in the VIP Lounge of a bar in the city centre. Manchester, especially the city centre, is extremely…

The Big Question
Everyone wants to know, but not many know how to ask, or dare to ask This might end up quite long, so here’s the TL;DR “Much to the confusion of many, I’m a straight man who like to crossdress as a woman some of the time, but not all of the time. This appears to…

Stranger In A Strange Land
Circumstances find me alone in an Eastern European capital for several days with very limited grasp of the language and even that only really extending to the written form. Not a specifically LGBTQ+ friendly country, although not a specifically LGBTQ+ unfriendly one either, at least in the capital – the provinces are likely to be…

̶B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶H̶o̶l̶e̶s̶ ̶ Xmas Parties and Revelations
An Xmas meet-up of around 10-15 former colleagues presents both opportunities and worries. All the ladies in the group except two already know about Sophie. Only one of the men though – and that was accidental (see this article) although he was on the list I was planning to tell. That left a substantial number…
