Fitting into the mainstream establishment is not on trans queer activist and writer Mattilda Sycamore Bernstein's agenda, and she is quite willing to forgo the 'straight privilege' that many in the queer community still seek. She spoke with Cath Davies.

Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore might often described as gender-bending, and sometimes still referred to as 'Matt',  but she is happy to use female pronouns these days, arguing, "I'll take she, thank you. I think we should all have the ability, opportunity, and experience in choosing our own gender, sexual, and social identities – I mean, as long as those choices aren't imposing violence on anyone else. That's the dream of a queer identity, right?".
