Are you kink curious?
Kink play is an ’emotionally rich’ but ‘confusing terrain’ to be in. This was due to ‘social taboo’, of course, rather than normal psychological responses we experience in response to danger. For example, when engaging in ‘blood play’ and other types of dangerous BDSM, we needed to think ‘about our triggers’ and ‘how to keep things grounded’ (which is a contradiction in terms and surely laying the foundation for making yourself vulnerable to coercion).
Trans book fest
Pechey introduced himself as a they/them, describing himself as having ‘strawberry blonde hair,’ when we could all see he’s bleached blonde. Despite being an ‘award winning author, presenter, educator,’ the hand wringing began immediately.

Keynote panel talk at the Barbican’s ‘Dirty Weekend’ takeover
One panel member had been scared off being her real self due to the conservative push back, affecting how she ‘showed up online’ and had been forced to take twelve months out to do an art residency so that she could regain her confidence.

Meet the artist who documented her bilateral mastectomy
Garrod interjected to state that even though Top is essentially an information display, it didn’t feel cold, the artist didn’t feel absent, that you did feel the emotions and that Bowler had imbued inanimate body parts with meaning, i.e. about as arse-about-face as he could’ve got. Bowler responded that archives weren’t dead spaces, they were full of people! Why, every time she goes to Bishopsgate she’s always bumping into people!
