It's HAMLET Day (again).

In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.

MAC gave me 55 lipsticks to test. These are the same lipsticks I got caught stealing by the police when I was 15. Ironic.

I’m an action transvestite really, so it’s running, jumping, climbing trees and then putting on make-up when you’re up there!

I don’t like the word dysphoria. I refuse to be confused about this. It’s confusing, but I am trying to be not confused. Which is why I made up my own terminology—being in “girl mode” or “boy mode”—it’s how I describe where I am on any given day on that nonbinary continuum of gender identity, a concept that psychiatrists and sociologists and politicians and religious types don’t seem able to explain with any degree of medical or biological certainty why I wish to wear skirts and heels on certain days and trousers on others. I don’t know why, and neither do they. And I suppose, in the end, the why of it really doesn’t matter. It’s just who I am and the way I was born. That’s who a lot of us are and the way a lot of us were born.
