Trans
Introduction I see lots on social media about Trans people and had the attitude that once someone had completed their journey, they were what they were and had no need to use the term "Trans" to describe themselves. I was so wrong.

A Story of Perseverance and Faith
Greetings, Vocal readers and subscribers! Today, October 20, is National Day on Writing. This yearly observance has been celebrated on this date since 2017. The intention behind this day is to highlight the importance of diversity of writing in everyday life. I've been a writer on Vocal since 2018, at a time when I wasn't in a good position in life. Since joining this platform, I've written and published over 500 stories, a few of my stories selected as Top Stories, and earning my first Honorable Mention win from a Vocal Challenge. I reached the 500-story mark two months ago. I'll link the full story of that down below for your reading pleasure. I'll be sharing a personal story about how 2026 gave me some perspective about the true meaning of life.

The UK is failing trans people
I am a 27-year-old transgender man living in the UK. I have been out as trans to my family and wider circle since I was 18, I realised myself when I was 16, and I felt this way since I was a child. I am often told (by medical professionals) that I am "a straight forward case". I play with boy toys as a kid, I wore boy clothes whenever I could, I wanted my family to pretend I was a boy and call me by a boy's name every day. When I came out, they were supportive. I am incredibly lucky to be surrounded by people who support me. If they were going to give the care, they would give it to me given what a straight forward case I should present. But I've waited for 10 years now.

Down With Psychiatry!
Psychiatry is a corrupt system that seeks to silence and blame victims for their trauma, and then further traumatizes them with strong medications that entirely remove one's will to live, to participate in society in a meaninful way, and to enjoy life. I know this for a fact because I was tortured with every kind of medication and injection possible, essentially for the "crime" of being a tomboy who didn't conform to feminine standards and a feminist who doesn't think a person's genitals should define their whole life and their role in society. Psychiatry killed a girl I used to love: she died after electro-shock torture, which they call "Electroconvulsive Therapy". Toronto psych wards are at capacity, full of brilliant, unconventional, artistic and misunderstood individuals. I know this first hand.

KD Lang and Cindy Crawford on the cover of Vanity Fair
I love this Vanity Fair magazine photo shoot of KD Lang and Cindy Crawford. it's sexy and every lesbians fantasy I also think that this photo shoot is empowering and I think it was great to choose KD Lang for this she is an out and proud member of the LGBTQ community. KD came to fame as a Country singer from Canada. Her song "Ms. Chantelaine" is my favorite song of KD Langs. Her biggest hit was one with Roy Orbison of his song "Crying" and her own song among the many others comes up is "Constant Craving" to name another. She is a vegetarian and an animal rights activist.

The RuPaul Talk Show
RuPaul used to have a talk show on VH1 in the late 90s early 2000s called the RuPaul show. I remember when I first saw the RuPaul talk show I thought to myself I do not know what this is. I’m watching, but I like it and this person meaning RuPaul seems likable so I watched him and really did enjoy immensely. RuPaul is and was a really good talkshow host who always made the interviews with her guests really . Her guests were celebrities and icons from all walks of the entertainment field. Also RuPaul’s friend used to be her sidekick on the talk show is now her sidekick on RuPaul’s drag race . Another thing is that now if you look at pictures from Many of the on drag race working on the RuPaul talk long ago.

I love RuPaul Dragrace
RuPaul Dragrace is a fantastic and favourite show of mine. I love that all drag queens of all races, ethnicities, and all other walks of life come together and compete to become the next drag superstar. Sometimes ruPaul drag race is all that I watch. I just can’t get enough of the show. There should be drag compete on the show too. The show is really fun to watch and it’s just one of my favorite shows that I always look forward to watching. In past years, some of my favorite drag queen superstars that have gone on to receive the crown are Gemini, , well I guess those were the two shows in which I was really paying attention, but still, I just love to watch the fabulous fashion that each queen . Each queen Has a fierce and fabulous personality of their own and I can’t say enough good things about the RuPaul drag race competition except I it never stops. Since inception RuPaul’s drag race has been on MTV, logo, and keep in mind. Both networks are on the Viacom corporation , so that’s why both networks pick it up so easily. I love watching the fashion statements made on the show by each queen that compete. Watching RuPaul’s drag race for me is a way to escape.

Long Live Pete Burns
Rest in Peace to the late great lead singer of Dead or Alive Pete Burns. The band is known for the classic “You Spin me right round like a record baby” from the 80’s. Dead or Alive had always reminded me of a Culture Club tribute act that made good. Other tracks that Dead or Alive was also known for the song “Brand New Lover’. As their career went on, they found their niche on the 80’s festival circuit.

Boy George Take it Like a Man
In the 90’s Boy George had released his autobiography called “Take it Like A Man”. It’s a really great read and it had a lot of great pictures in it too. The book covers everything his sexuality, his relationship with Jon Moss, the life of a pop star, and all the sex, drugs, and rock n roll that go along with it.
