QueerAF Partnership: How Wales Does Ballroom Right

I first stumbled into Ballroom as a queer teenager from the Welsh valleys who’d spent years being bullied. The scene in Cardiff was the first place where I didn’t have to hide.

Is Democratiaeth the same as Democracy?

Democracy has always mattered to me, perhaps because I grew up in a ‘debate at the kitchen table’ type family, where I, as an A-Level politics student, fiercely believed that the United Kingdom – and Wales – was democratic. I would list the UK constitution’s checks and balances, argue vociferously that the voting system was […]

QueerAF Partnership: Do We Need Labels in Trans+ Representation?

Does trans media have an obligation to explicitly label its trans characters as such? Consider Jane Schoenbrun’s 2024 release I Saw The Tv Glow. A “deeply trans movie” , the film directly confronts the ‘egg-crack’ moment of irreversible change in the wake of realising that one is transgender. But the word ‘transgender’, or any of […]
