Sorted by jackson bird5/13/2023 ![]() With warmth and wit, Jackson also recounts how he navigated the many obstacles and quirks of his transition––like figuring out how to have a chest binder delivered to his NYU dorm room and having an emotional breakdown at a Harry Potter fan convention. Illuminated by journal entries spanning childhood to adolescence to today, he candidly recalls the challenges and loneliness he endured as he came to terms with both his gender and his bisexual identity. In this “soulful and heartfelt coming-of-age story” (Jamia Wilson, director and publisher of the Feminist Press), Jackson chronicles the ups and downs of growing up gender-confused. He barely remembers meeting anyone who was openly gay, let alone being taught that transgender people existed outside of punchlines. Growing up in Texas in the 1990s, he had no transgender role models. Jackson didn’t share this thought with anyone because he didn’t think he could share it with anyone. When Jackson Bird was twenty-five, he came out as transgender to his friends, family, and anyone in the world with an internet connection.Īssigned female at birth and raised as a girl, he often wondered if he should have been born a boy. ![]() Horrid by katrina leno5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The smell of roses is so strong, Jane feels choked by it.

Ruth’s has inherited North Manor, “a large colonial-style mansion with three gables at the front and four white columns supporting a white-railed balcony.” The issue is that the house is dilapidated and creepy, looking like “one big tetanus trap.” Still, Jane and her mother are hoping for a fresh start and a place to heal from their personal tragedy. Neither of them particularly want to be there, but they have no choice: they have no place else to go. Jane and her mother, Ruthellen, have left their lives in Los Angeles and driven across country to Bells Hollow, Maine. You’re familiar with the nursery rhyme, right?

The Constitution of the United States is held by many in awe and is globally respected. While not all societies have a foundation in law, those with methodologies to update law within the existing frameworks and going outside of these and disobeying them can lead to consequences people need to face. ![]() As we saw in the lecture and session concerning Socrates and whether he should remain to face charges, it was noted that even though this was an unjust sentence, the reverence for the law took precedence.
