It was packed in the Barbican’s biggest screen, filled with lots of trans-identified females of all ages (but mostly younger) eager to see, who I guess must be a hero to them, Paul B. Preciado. Preciado is now 53 years of age but is blessed with youthful looks and an even more youthful mind (some might say adolescent, but I’ll get onto that). According to the Wikipedia entry, Paul was previously Beatriz and transitioned in 2014, i.e. aged forty-four years. An internet search for Beatriz bought up this article from 2013, from when she was on the brink of her ‘transition’, being interviewed for the book she is most famous for – Testo Junkie : Sex, Drugs and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era.

The T in LGBT: Tea with Jamie Raines
Jamie Raines aka Jammidodger has over a million subscribers on YouTube. At the time of writing her latest post, uploaded three days ago, had already received 77 thousand views. It’s normal for her to get over one hundred thousand hits, or even millions of hits, for her posts.
Her current pinned post is ‘Bad Women’s Anatomy is Getting WORSE’. In it, she’s ‘natural’ and chatty on camera, including clips of herself tripping up over the phrase ‘trans inclusive’, which could easily be edited out, but clearly kept in to add to the aesthetic of her don’t care/affable persona. In the video she makes simplistic links between women’s bodies and misogyny. So this is a ‘man’ who wants to lecture her teen girl audience about how awful men are, showcasing her ability to empathise with women, which is all too understandable when she is one. This is who her audience is then, girls who are unsure about their changing bodies.
A Trans Man Walks into a Gay Bar: Book Launch
Written by ‘Harry’ Nicholas, the book is exactly what the title suggests it to be, a woman’s experience of cos-playing as gay in the world of the sauna and Grindr. As per the usual, a roll call of trans activists provide the endorsements. There’s an overwrought endorsement from fellow heterosexual trans activist Fox Fisher, damning with faint praise from Christine Burns, but Daniel Harding, author of the book Gay Man Talking, gives it a thumbs-up. Nicholas also writes for Pink News and is just 26 years old (according to her Twitter bio).
