Melissa: Early teens, I found a pair of nylons and thought what the heck lets try them on! I was always interested in looking at women's legs and loved the look of nylons. Well after putting on the nylons I found them to feel soft, slinky and quite sexy. I was hooked! I began with the Legg's Brand then onto Hanes! I would wear them whenever I could, I was so lucky not to get caught.....I think. I also remember enjoying watching Tina on Gilligan' Island! She was so attractive and I loved her gowns and heels. I can always remember dreaming of getting a chance sometime to dress just like her! Question: Describe your early experiences dressing as a girl. Melissa: Initially, I thought it was all about nylons. I would wear them to school or out among my friends. The feeling of them would drive me crazy! I first tried my Mom's lipstick when I was about 14, thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Just the outline, making a little pout! What fun. Then it was onto a Teddy, sneaking one from my Mom's dresser for sleeping in. What a sensation, lying in bed with nylons and a teddy on! Sleep no way! Fantasy dreams heels and hose! I loved looking thru the Sears Catalogue with all the dresses and skirts and lingerie! In my late teen years I purchase my first outfit that was all red. High Heels..Red! A see thru Teddy, with garter belt and panty all in red. Long red nylons! It was a present to myself for Valentine's Day! That was such a high getting all dressed in that outfit and standing in front of the mirror for the first time in my own lingerie and heels! Pretty TGirls Magazine – December 2008 page 4 An Interview With Melissa Honey … continued Question: At what age did you start using make-up and wearing wigs? How did you learn how to apply make up? Any tips for other TGirls? Brand of make up you use? Melissa: In my early twenties I began trying makeup! Typically it was around Halloween when I could get away with having some fun. I would draw on the dark liner and eyes! The more color the better! Bright red lips! Dark shadow! Smokey and sexy as can be! I soon met a person who was kind to the TG community. Often you think your the only one! But she was very helpful in the service industry and provided a guidance for crossdressers. She keep a supply of wigs, makeup and clothes. I will always remember the first time I donned a wig and looked into the mirror after she did my makeup. I almost cried I was so happy, finally I realized, this is what I am all about. To me makeup is the artist tools. Your face is the page on which to create something of interest to yourself! The most important thing is to enjoy who you are! There are so many web sites out there for info on makeup and application. You should try on different faces, color and have some fun. Pic a style that suits you most. I would recommend a visit if possible with a Makeup artist. Its well worth the money and will save you time and money in the long run. I prefer the talented individuals at M.A.C. Cosmetics. The are great! My two choices for makeup are MAC and Lancome. The quality and the colors are exceptional. Pretty TGirls Magazine – December 2008 page 5 An Interview With Melissa Honey … continued Question: If you had your choice, what do like wearing the most when being a girl? Melissa: All of the them! I start from the inside and work outwards. Its a slinky pair of panties. I prefer a thong. Nylons, black is my choice of color with a sandle toe. I use a push up lacy bra with 36B breasts. I top this with a Black teddy. I then return to finishing my makeup! Line my lips and add color to them! Today its a High waisted Black A-line Skirt. The new blouse is Turquoise feminine with light lace on the collar and sleeves. Large Hoop silver earrings are next. Adding a pearl necklace sets of your face and keeps the eyes guessing. A few rings on your fingers and bracelets finish the preparation. What wig shall I go for, Auburn, Blonde or Dark Brown? I often try on several wigs until I get the look I want for the outfit. Finally I have chosen the one. Its Blonde, long with highlites. Now I am ready for the day........or evening! Pretty TGirls Magazine – December 2008 page 6 An Interview With Melissa Honey … continued Question: Now a bit of personal information ... What is your marital status? A sensitive area for some girls, but ... how old are you now? Does anyone know you are a TGirl? What country do you live in? Melissa: Yes I am married, she is an exceptional person. I am 39 (smiling). Yes a few people know I am a TGirl. I live in Canada and am lucky in doing so. Question: Do you have a website and/or email you’d like to share with us? Melissa: [email protected] www.flickr.com/photos/melissahoney/ Pretty TGirls Magazine – December 2008 page 7 An Interview With Melissa Honey … continued Question: Have you ever gone out as a girl? If so, tell us what the first time is like and how you feel being out in the world as a girl. Melissa: I have gone out many many times as a girl! The first time your heart is on your mouth. You can't breath and you think everyone is looking at you. How narcissistic! Really, no one truly is concerned or cares as much as you think they do! I was in Vancouver at an event and was able to escape to get out for the evening. I got dressed to the nines and went to a local place known for Tgirls. I drove and parked my car as close as I could. I had worn 4 inch heels, my god I must be crazy! Nope your there, go for it, I said to myself. This is the point of it all to get out there and be the girl you want to be! I could hear the click click click of my heels as I walked on down the sidewalk. Oh my god, there was a couple coming the other way, I would have to walk past them, what would happen? I nearly froze but thought what could I do now turn the other way. the opening to the club was closer than the car so I kept walking, I walked past them and no response, no looks, no laughs. Hey this is fine I am going to make it, the Night club was less than a block away. Finally I made it to the club door and walked in. There was a Night club fee but to my surprised they did not charge Tgirls! The girl at the door smiled and said "Hey Girl you look awesome"! I just smiled for the rest of the evening. I had a fun time! Pretty TGirls Magazine – December 2008 page 8 An Interview With Melissa Honey … continued Question: Have you ever gone through a purge of your female clothing? If so, can you tell us why? How did it make you feel? How long before you went back to being a girl? Melissa: All Tgirls purge! Its for personal reasons. You question yourself, your direction and pursuit of finding something your not comfortable with but inside you know you are truly happy. You love the feeling,the illusion. You question how can this feel so good but screw up your life so badly if somebody (your partner, friends, family) find out.

  • Beyond the Check-Boxes: Exploring Genderqueer Identity
    Beyond the Check-Boxes: Exploring Genderqueer Identity My rules for using labels: Some labels I use in self-identification: ● rule 1: labels work best when we determine ● Genderqueer describes my gender identity them for ourselves ● Butch describes my appearance ● rule 2: labels are only good as long as they ● Queer describes my sexuality, not limited by work for you gender ● rule 3: labels can be used alone or in combination; combinations add complexity and depth Remember: different people interpret different Remember: labels are words, words are labels differently: to communicate better, go beyond approximations we use to communicate complex the shorthand concepts, they are short-hand and don’t tell the whole story Why use Labels? In some very basic ways, we use labels to help us identify who is a friend/enemy, who might be attracted to us and who we might be attracted to. We also seek out people we think are like us, to form alliances and find common-ground, people who will support and understand us. Even though words are just approximations, we rely on words to communicate with others. For many of us, words also form the backbone of our thought processes, our inner dialogue, as we seek to explore and define ourselves. Unfortunately, labels can also be used against us, to limit us, box us in and as the basis for discrimination and bigotry. Goals for the session: Each participant will leave with a better understanding of the terms used to describe gender identities which are outside of, between, or some combination of the genders.

  • Challenging Common Representations of Bareback Sex and HIV Through Ethnography
    MOVING BEYOND RESISTANCE AND MEDICALIZATION: Challenging Common Representations of Bareback Sex and HIV through Ethnography Julien Brisson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MA degree in anthropology School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Julien Brisson, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ABSTRACT Condomless sex between gay men, also known as bareback sex, has been a popular object of research since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. One of the most common perspectives on studying bareback sex has been through a medicalization approach, as it may be observed notably with public health and psychology. In other instances, the abandonment of condom use is framed as an intentional act of resistance to public health. Through the methodological approach of ethnography, I studied how young gay men in their twenties from Toronto understand bareback sex in relations to popular discourses of the sexual practice. While my informants initially had a certain way of talking of bareback sex, their narratives on the sexual practice changed with time and challenged the common representations of bareback sex as either a site of resistance or medicalization, which I argue was possible because of the methodological approach of ethnography. During fieldwork, other themes also emerged in regards to shaping understandings of bareback sex and HIV as it relates to young gay men, such as the traumatic memories of an older generation who witnessed the earlier days of the AIDS epidemic. From this anthropological research, I seek to invite the opportunity to rethink the relationship between sex, biomedical science and HIV.

Dans ce cadre, nous présentons les enjeux politiques et épistémologiques de la distinction entre performance et performativité, de l’approche intersectionnelle des pratiques Drag et d’une lecture chorégraphique inspirée par les dance studies. En conclusion, nous montrons quelques pistes de recherche qui permettent de dépasser une vision dichotomique des pratiques Drag (« Drag Queen » versus « Drag King ») pour proposer une vision fluide et plurielle des genres.

  • À La Croisée Des Genres : Trajectoires Et Identités « Trans » Au Québec
    Université de Montréal À LA CROISÉE DES GENRES : TRAJECTOIRES ET IDENTITÉS « TRANS » AU QUÉBEC Par Isabelle Chiasson-Levesque Département de sociologie Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des arts et des sciences en vue de l’obtention du grade de maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) en sociologie Mai 2018 © Isabelle Chiasson-Levesque 2018 Résumé Ce mémoire porte sur les trajectoires et les identités trans au Québec. Il s’appuie sur les récits de vie de 11 personnes s’identifiant trans au Québec, afin de mieux comprendre l’influence des normes sociales de genre sur leur parcours de vie et la façon dont elles se manifestent dans le cadre des interactions sociales quotidiennes. Fondée à la fois sur des récits de vie d’hommes et de femmes trans, cette recherche a ainsi pour but de mesurer l’impact d’un système de normes basé sur la binarité des genres. Cette lecture croisée des genres permet de mettre en lumière les principales convergences et divergences entre les expériences des hommes trans et celles des femmes trans. Dans un premier temps, la recherche montre que la trajectoire identitaire de genre prend place, pour tous et toutes, dès l’enfance, période où cette question du genre serait présente, mais en « sommeil ». La période de l’adolescence équivaut ensuite à une période d’éveil aux stigmates qui les aurait mené-es à intérioriser leur différence. L’âge adulte -le présent- est le moment d’extériorisation identitaire qui s’inscrit dans une série d’expériences de transition. Dans un deuxième temps, cette étude fera état des inégalités sociales de genre et des inégalités transidentitaires, et de la façon dont ces deux formes d’inégalités s’articulent, notamment dans le cadre des espaces publics et des interactions sociales.
