on 8th march 2022 i had no idea i was a girl.
i was a straight cis man who—nine days earlier—had voiced for the first time that i secretly wore women’s clothes. it wasn’t an easy thing to articulate. i tried to write down what ‘crossdressing’ was to me in a note on my phone so i could explain it clearly. i’d spent twenty-three years carefully compartmentalising and repressing it, so when i did finally say it aloud, it was a garbled wandering mess that raised more questions than it answered.
the stroll opens with co-director kristen lovell narrating over footage from a 2007 documentary she featured in called queer streets .
