Today is my birthday, and I would LOVE if people were into becoming a patron of my work as a way of celebrating with me. I have a lot of things on the go, podcasts brewing and leaking out, writing projects coming together in bits and pieces, Sex Toy Show & Tell events happening every…
This post is to announce the launch of the new podcast, ‘Imagination Revolution: UBI’
I love building programming based on interest. One of the things that has been very cool about the Sex Toy Show & Tell Events so far, is that most of the ideas have come from folks who’ve shared their interests with me either at the events or in conversation about them. At the first Open…
“Kori Doty, a trans individual who works as a sex educator in Victoria, is no stranger to challenges that come with being gender-diverse.” Philip McLachlan Canadian Blood Services may loosen rules on gay men. Where does that leave transgender donors? Members of Victoria’s trans community are advocating for the elimination of ‘discriminatory’ and ‘fear-based’ blood…
A while back UK researcher Connie Enzler got a hold of me to ask if I would be open to being interviewed for a podcast they were making as a part of their research into gender. I agreed and we recorded a long, emotional interview. Of course I was one of a number of excellent…
Quality leather goods, especially if taken care of, will last a long time and there’s no good reason that they can’t be properly cleaned, conditioned, and re-distributed should they fall out of personal favour.
First off. I knew it wasn’t going to be straight forward. I don’t expect as much in health care, let alone on this, the ever exclusive club that is the blood donation process here in Canada. My last attempted donation 16 years previous had resulted in being sent away with a juice box, a cookie…
When I was 19 I moved to Halifax. Right on Barrington, across from the diner I worked in the kitchen, was and still is Venus Envy. That store changed my life, without question. It was where I bought my first, and second dildo, as well as where I first ever learned that transmasculine people existed…
Now that the child has started kindergarten, I am finding my way back to the other things that I used to balance my time with. I never have a shortage of ideas for projects I would like to see happen, or things I want to help out with, but the challenge is often about how…
I originally wrote this as a Facebook post, but was very quickly reminded that such a post will likely remain algorithmically buried. Being able to post content like this, without the censure of the social media platforms is one of the reasons I have this website, so figured I should post it here in hopes…
I first posted this to Facebook, but it seems to be algorithmically buried in a way that is preventing it from being seen in the common feed. It’s been fairly well documented that platforms do this to posts that address racism, sex worker stigma, and other elements explored here-in. Every once in a while when…
As spring is springing, you will find me emerging into this new world of public speaking, direct from my living room to yours! With Covid-19 event restrictions in place for a full year now, event organizers are moving towards ways to bring people together digitally and I have a couple of conference speaking gigs this…
As much as I wish that we could move forward with scientifically backed measures like bans to conversion therapy, allowing trans or gender questioning youth to access hormone blockers and medically assisted transitional puberty, or implementation of SOGI 123 diversity and inclusion curriculum, we are unfortunately in a time where many people are really adamantly…
This is an opportunity to acknowledge, respect and appreciate the wisdom and leadership of queer, trans, sex worker and drug user communities when it comes to public health, testing, harm reduction, and health advocacy.
Much of the content I originally compiled for the Resilience Building for Trans Folks and Our Allies course has become a bit stale dated over the past 4 years. In effort to make some of the content available so as to support my contribution to Trans Awareness Week, I have made a Notion board that…
