If you’ve friended, followed, or subscribed in recent months — even if you’ve followed me for donkey’s years — there’s probably stuff you haven’t seen. I continually produce new stories, but there is really good stuff back on the shelves that it would be a shame to miss. Let me just quickly help you find some things you might be interested in…

I tell the story of my childhood in my Girl series. I touch on my teen years in Seventeen: Sex and the Trans Girl and Metamorphosis. If you saw the Cracked interviews, the story that triggered those is My experience during the Trans Dark Ages. My journey through trauma, therapy, and recovery is summarised in Cured.

Some of the challenges I’ve faced in my relationships with men are covered in Conflicted Romance, Love and Disclosure as a Trans Woman, and Three Times a Virgin. The story of the Trans Pride march which brought me out of the woodwork little more than a year ago is told in The Kindness of Strangers.

There are short snippets from across my life in My Life in Moments and Twined Fragments, and, for a peek into what it’s like to be me, try What’s it like to be a trans woman? or even Do you ever get weirdly conscious of your labia? I also do Ask Me Anything Q&As.

There are, believe it or not, even autobiographical stories that have little to do with trans, like That Was Yesterday, 86.2 kg. Again., What He Did to Her, and I Am (Not) Native American.

And there’s more: a brief biography and complete reader’s guide are at AllisonWashington.net, and an author bio and information for media and publishers are at Allison Washington.
