Introducing our new guest blogger…

helhol_181x240.jpgProperly speaking, Helen doesn’t really need an introduction, as she has been guest blogging for us on an ad hoc basis for a little while now. But we’ve now formalised everything, and you can expect regular contributions from her for the next two months :)

Over to her…

Hello. I’m Helen and I’m delighted to be guest blogging here at The F Word. I’ve been based in London for about 5 years and work in IT support for an Interior Design company. In 2006 I was diagnosed as gender dysphoric and began my transition shortly after. I underwent surgery in Bangkok in 2007 and am happy to say that my gender dissonance is now much reduced. Transitioning has definitely informed my politics, in the areas of gender identity and LGBT issues as well as feminism, and I hope that this interest will be reflected in my posts.

Have your say

In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.

  1. This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
  2. All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
  3. No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
  4. Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
  5. No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
  6. Be nice.

Please note that your email address will not be displayed on this website. All comments are checked, prior to being published on this site.
