TRẦN THANH TÂM

Author:  Ellis Schwamm It’s extremely disingenuous to pretend that everyone but men struggle with emotions, and doesn’t help liberate us from the toxic ideal that “real men don’t cry,” or exhibit sadness.  Men who date other men have additional obstacles to navigate if both they and their partners have difficultly accessing vulnerability.  That’s why I’d like to take the time with you to discuss how social norms have shaped the emotional health of queer men and how crucial vulnerability is as an empowering vehicle towards deeper connection and compatibility in your relationships.  I’ll also share some tips with you on how to uncover your own latent feelings and offer some suggestions on how to share these thoughts with someone you’re interested in or dating. One of the things that frustrates me the most about most published dating and relationship advice I find for men on the internet is that it either focuses exclusively on sex or managing the emotio...

Author:  Douglas Laman Suddenly, a person you’ve been regularly communicating with is M.I.A. Without warning, a fixture of recent life can become a memory. Somebody you’d bonded with has abruptly stopped contacting you. The text messages have ceased, all traces of their presence in your life have been yanked away by them, and without warning or explanation. But just because the experience is stressful doesn’t mean it’s impossible to endure. There are ways for autistic people to come out the other side of getting ghosted. You’ve done it. You’ve finally met someone. A person who makes you laugh, who you actually click with, whose world is fascinating to be a part of. Considering how often the world of dating, especially for neurotypical and neurodivergent people alike, is rife with frustrations failures, it’s always a delightful experience to finally find some success in the form of forming a bond with somebody. Sharing constant daily texts, holding hands, being able to...

Val J Historically, trans people and disabled people have had vocal training to change the way their voices sound; sometimes by choice and sometimes by way of strong culture pressure of what a gender and the voice of a person whose gender that is “should” sound like.

But within the voice there is power, expression, strength, and diversity. I was extremely excited to do this interview because as a nonbinary disabled person who likes to sing, conversations around the voice and vocal training are ever-present in my life. Historically, trans people and disabled people have had vocal t...
