Shady Jon<p>If you like TJ Klune, Fredrik Backman, or are a gay man of *ahem* a certain age - or wondered what it was like to be gay and coming of age in the 70's, I highly recommend Matt Cain's The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle. </p><p>A delightful and solid read, bullying and bashing take a back seat to a story of everyday human courage and survival, with an ending that will make you smile. </p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/mattcain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mattcain</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/amreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amreading</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/comingout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comingout</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>

S.T.

Je suis transmasc et non-binaire, je suis masculin et je suis à l'aise le fait qu'on me dit que je suis un gars et aussi j'aime me dire je suis un gars pourtant mon identité est pas un homme binaire, je me considère comme transmasc et pas un homme trans binaire car mon identité est aussi non-binaire et je suis très à l'aise dans ma non-binarité (sa se dit se terme ?), je me sens très proche le fait d'être lesbien que de la bisexualité et de l'homosexualité. Ça m'a fait un peu un choque pour moi car je pensais mieux me connaître. Et comme l'a très bien dit oomfie "tu n'as pas du tt à te sentir femme c ça qui est beau avec le lesbianisme, tu es lesbien-ne transmasc nb, tu n'as aucune obligation de t'accrocher à une identité femme" et ça m'a fait trop plaisir de lire ça.
