Growing up in a very religious family, I was raised on Muslim Shiite values; my sibling and I were named after the grandchildren of Prophet Mohammad. Growing up, I heard the stories of the lives of Mohammad and his grandchildren and how they survived the oppression of people that were against their beliefs. I was [...]

كتير صعب على أي شخص انو يرتاح كلياً مع حاله/ا. كلنا عنٌا شعور بعدم الأمان وكلنا ما منحب نفرجي إللا الجزء يللي منحبه بحالنا، والجزء يللي منعتبره بشع (وانا ما بآمن انو في حدا بالدنيا بشع) هو الجزء يللي منحاول المستحيل تا نخبيه.

I strive to be a gender outside the gender binary، to break out of this duality and live as somethings else، mish 2usset transitioning physically from male to female، but rather to re-orient the way my body is defined. to take that into my own hands and not let it be placed inside the conceptual cage that those who cannot see outside their own cages place it in.

We often come across the questions: When was the first time you had sex? Who was it with? Was it good? Did you cum? Were you comfortable? We almost always answer: I was X years old, her/his name was Y, she/he was my…

There is no precise numerical data about families composed of children with same sex parents.
While different western countries are discussing whether to allow or not adoption for Gay and Lesbian couples, some have already approved and/or are approving specific laws on the subject. What we know for sure is that families with homosexual parents are [...]

في حياتي محطات ككلّ النّاس، وفيها مواقف أثّرت بي، بَنَت نَفسي، أعطتني
عنوانا.
الموقف الأوّل في صغري، خلالَ سَنوات عمري الأولى، حين كنتُ أرى الفتيات حولي
يَتباهَيْنَ بشعورهنَّ الطّويلة، وفساتينهنّ الزّاهية، وحقائب اليد الملوّنة

في العدد السابق من “بخصوص”، نشرنا الجزء الأول من هذا المقال الذي يتحدث عن المواد القانونية المجحفة في الدستور اللبناني بحق المواطنين والمواطنات وحرياتهم/ن الشخصية بشكل عام مهما اختلفت ميولهم الجنسية وطوائفهم (لقراءة الجزء الأول ). وفي هذا العدد، ننشر الجزء الثاني:
ولكن المادة 534 ليست المادة الوحيدة التي تمس بحريات مثلييّ/ات الجنس والمواطنين/ات اللبنانيين/ات بشكل عام، لكنها المحرك الأكبر والدافع الذي من خلاله يطال القانون حريات المواطن/ة اللبناني/ة لاسيما مثليي/ات الجنس ، حتى الحريات الأكثر طبيعية والأكثر بديهيّة منها.

Having watched the first 6 episodes of The Real L Word (yes, I do know reviews are usually written after the first one, but hey, it’s summertime), I stand at a crossroad, incapable to decide between liking or disliking the show. On the one hand, it is quite shallow and the “real” women do not [...]

You wake up one day and you cannot run as fast as the boys. Your hips and breasts are slowing you down. You are bleeding and you are worried your newly acquired menstruation equipment might slip and embarrass you to death. The boys you used to play soccer with look at you in a different way. You, who were [...]
