Claire McKeown Takes on the Devil and Self-Sabotage With Her Heroic Band, Honey Child

Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  This year at the Academy Awards, there has been a concerted effort to honor women and their stories.

One nomination that stood out was a short documentary produced by Netflix called Heroin(e). … Continue reading Claire McKeown Takes on the Devil and Self-Sabotage With Her Heroic Band, Honey Child

lesmains-sales: “The battle is far from over. Even in the U.S., where certain people in the trans community – like Caitlin Jenner and Laverne Cox – are gaining prominence, they’re all people who’ve fully transitioned. We continue to disregard those whose identities remain more ambiguous, uncertain, or who refuse to make any kind of definitive statement.” Christine and the Queens for Nylon Continue reading
