About Me
- Zoe Brain
- Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
- Actually, I am a Rocket Scientist. Also hormonally odd (my blood has 46xy chromosomes anyway) and for most of my life, I looked male, and lived as one, trying to be the best Man a Gal could be. Anyway, in May 2005 that started changing naturally for reasons still unclear, and I'm now Zoe, not Alan : happier and more relaxed not to have to pretend any more. UPDATE - reason now identified as the 3BHSD form of CAH.
Reviews
This blog, written by a rocket scientist, is a fascinating collection of information, both personal and scientific, regarding intersex, transsexualism and related psychosocial and psychosexual issues.

It is erudite and heartfelt. Just read the posts about the passport issue. You won't know whether to laugh, weep or crawl into a ball and rock gently in a corner - an amazing person.

The reason I so appreciate bright, perceptive people - as opposed to ideologues whose intelligence does little to illuminate - is that they manage to both instruct and learn with a certain grace. Among such rarities in the transblogosphere is Zoe, whose direct speech and clear humanity always make her worth reading, even if one doesn’t always agree with her every conclusion.

Thanks., I needed that.
...our arguments are invalid.

Please help. I've been trying to bring up the general lack of coverage for SRS in the U.S., but other trans people keep suppressing my attempts to do so. These are mostly trans people who have already had surgery and are pretty much of the attitude that if they didn't get coverage, then no American trans person should get it.
This whole thing is very distressing for me and I'm looking for support.
