Gender Uphoria

But still, you feel good when it all goes wrong, because you believe, just for a moment, that you’ve hit the bottom, and there’s nowhere left to go, and nothing matters.

Tulip and Elijah are having a tough time of it. Their mutual girlfriend has broken up with them and left a person sized hole in their lives, as well as in their monthly rent payments. Surely these two trans people should be able to find good enough jobs to get the bills paid...

Gender Uphoria is a psychorotic glimpse into living while trans in Britain. Described as "too real to be sexy" by my boyfriend, it is a novel of minimal proportions, false revelations, and smaller-than-life characters. Follow Tulip and Elijah's petty and banal exploits as they are pressed against the at-once systemic and casual bigotry of a country gutting itself to make way for fascism. Open the door to the shuttered shop-fronts and empty Airbnbs of the North.
