Join a fantastic community of creative writers at Mason Jar Press’s launch of volume 4 of Jarnal. Will reads an excerpt from his memoir piece, “Confessions of a Toddler,” published in this volume.

“Once you sewed the boys matching Star Wars blankets, and you made Mandy and me matching Strawberry Shortcake dresses. In a rare picture of toddler-me, I am smiling and shy, my soft blond hair floating around my head, your sweet baby angel. But what I remember is how I loved those blue Star Wars blankets. What made you think I wanted a dress?”

"I thought this kind of love was the exaggerated stuff of storybooks. But they don’t write storybooks about boys like us." In my guest post at The Queer Love Project, I share how Joshua and I queered our wedding to be the queer, trans celebration we all deserve.

On the outside, I was a 19-year-old girl entering my first marriage under the Mormon Church. Inside, I was struggling with gender dysphoria. How have you handled your memorabilia that no longer fits?

How I finally stopped carrying my ex-husband’s baggage for him.

Sitting in the audience at a recent Elliot Page event, 35 years later, I can hear a voice scolding me to keep my knees together.

I was gutted recently when the Harry Potter author successfully obliterated more rights for people like me. She was the key to my survival when I came out to my Mormon husband and family.

Writer Will Richardson remembers a recent Halloween adventure, more frightening for his and his husband’s journey into MAGA territory than any spooky costumes at hand.
