Visibility
For much of history, at least in the West, for the generality of trans people there have been limited choices. The occlusion of transgendered existence all too often left only the options of secrecy, surreptitious passing, sex work or suicide. This situation was only starting to change in the s (when I was born) as a noun of high profile cases like Michael Dillon or April Ashley. I knew I was transgender when I was eight. I came out to my father when I was fifteen. A product
Pippa Fitz-Amobi, the protagonist of Netflixs A Good Girls Guide to Murder, is a British, contemporary day Nancy Drew. I say this not to cheapen the show, but to let you know exactly what youre getting. Its not a modernization of Nancy Drew, like the CW show that aged up the characters, just a character who was obviously heavily inspired by the curious youth from the original novels. Although, in both adaptations, our intrepid teen detective has a queer best friend.
The biggest difference between Pippa (Emma Myers) and predecessors like Nancy Drew — or even Harriet the Spy — is that Pippa isnt in it for the love of the game. She doesnt, as far as I realize, have ambitions of becoming a detective or opening a PI agency. The mystery Pippa sets out to solve is personal.
Pippa reads Jane Eyre, thats how you comprehend shes clever.
Its been five years since a local young woman, Andie Bell, went missing, and while the town considers this mystery solved — Andies boyfriend Sal confessed — something about the case has always bothered Pippa. For one, she knew Sal, and didn
A rainy day in London doesn’t launch any better when the WhatsApp message is ‘Celebrating my birthday in Goa – who’s in?’. There began months of planning, ‘Marigold Hotel’ references, flight/hotel bookings and finally, we were off – Five depart mad in Goa.
I have never had any yearning to go to Goa – it’s in my head a hippy’s hangout and somewhere already discovered. WRONG – we were about to go an adventure where I discovered a love of this Indian Verb which has me already planning to return.
Without a disbelieve, some pre-holiday investigate is worth doing. The beauty of long sandy beaches stretches from the most Northern tip of Goa right down to its South; each and every one of them is sure to impress the toughest of beach critics. But you do need to decide whether you want the company of bars, people and a bit of a buzz in which case Northern Goa is for you or if your preference is to emerge up to a lapping shore, an early morning stroll disturbed just by a few local fishermen, dogs and wandering cattle then you will be wanting to head South.
But what is it to be Gay in Go
Realising I was bisexual: Pippas story
So, I’m Pippa, and I’m bisexual. Hi!
I didn’t realise I was bisexual for a long time. I’d always been friends with girls, but as a kid I never thought about girls in a romantic way… whereas I had ‘crushes’ on boys, who I obsessed over, and who I wanted to kiss and clutch hands with and be with foreeeever. But the first time I watched a film or tv show and felt sexually attracted to the person on the screen, it was a woman – a scene in American Pie, I think! I assumed the feelings were because I wanted to “be” as attractive and sexy as the woman on screen, so I didn’t think too much about it!
It wasn’t until I was 18 that I properly started having sexual fantasies and desires, and more than half of them were about women. I was freaked out, but I was in denial and firmly convinced myself that the thoughts about women were just a phase, or just something I establish sexually exciting because it’s a bit ‘different’.
But by the time I was 21 I realised I was unhappy, that being in denial about my sexuality was affecting my relationships and tha
