My Agender: Aussie trans tales revealed in new book

Feature, By theinnertiger, 28th March, 2011

One of the events I managed to get along to at the Midsumma Festival in Melbourne this year was the launch of My Agender, a collection of short stories from the sex and gender-diverse community.

[...]

My personal experience inspired me to develop this project. I got frustrated by the consent need to label people and then expect them to confirm to stereotypical behaviours. Everyone has a gender and sexuality, and everyone expresses theirs differently. Gender and sexuality are fluid; and move along an ever changing continuum. I wanted to capture stories which explored just that, and create a body of knowledge that reflects the diversity of the people we are.
