I also engage myself a great deal in gender issues
and what is called gender identity disorder (GID) and related healthcare. Having changed gender as I have, you experience
a lot of things about yourself, society, acceptance, and family, as well as related problems when others meet you as the opposite
gender. The list of issues here is never-ending, but if I can shorten it, I would like to try.
Based on my gender-change experience, a lot of
other thoughts about life have found their way in my mind. I do write a great deal about them, and they’re included
in my story writing. My themes are about identity, our true selves, life, people, you and me. It’s all rolled into a
concept I call “Across Borders” and it includes a lot of various ideas and possible activities. This I have just
begun, but you will find a lot of those thoughts in my Li-Sam Vicious Publishing blog, and I can promise you that there is a lot to discover.

This poem below is based on how I experience the Swedish healthcare situation for transsexual
people today.
In paper they are cut, labelled and put
away, always "other" without knowing.
In paper they are wrapped up and archived, prohibiting their souls
from showing.
Like soldiers behind a desk we then number our victims to escape our doings.
And like
in court, humanity doesn’t count.
My interests reach further than that, and I have
a private side too. But I won’t tell you everything and I hope you can respect that. Even so, I’m open-minded,
so you are welcome to get to know me a bit better through my writing, and, who knows, perhaps one day we may meet.
