“Then maybe x-jenda is a better fit? I mean, in algebra, x is an unknown value and you don’t have boobs, you don’t have a penis and you don’t have a vagina—of course you’re an x!”

Whew! I think my talk slides for Replaying Japan are done! Excited to be seeing connections and differences with X-jendā, agender, and gender euphoria in games!

Koto travelled half-way around the world to be with Sora again. That one furtive kiss catapulted her into nowhere, and for years she went swirling around a turbulent sky. Now, she felt grounded again.

My book was released today, March 31st! (It's already the 31st in Japan.) I’m glad to have published a book that traces the history of the concepts and activities through which transgender/X-jendā/non-binary individuals position themselves, on the International Transgender Day of Visibility!
