And with that, I'm gonna step back from putting my thoughts into videos and songs for a while so I can focus on my German-language comedy (more info on that unexpected pivot in this video). I'll be back when I have something else to say πŸ’—

I totally see that, usually the worst part is the wait time for me and maddening phone menus to get to a real person. When I moved to Germany I was so shocked that talking to a real person just means going to my local Finanzamt and waiting for 5 minutes, not waiting for hours on the phone

the truth is that moving to berlin and transitioning are two of the most important decisions i've made in my life and i can only recommend them!!

Being closeted is scary but also sometimes funny because at the height of my denial of being trans I angrily had the thought "moving to Berlin to just be a transsexual is so unoriginal, get new material" lol

Just got back from an experimental theater piece exploring trans identity at the English Theater Berlin starring @avelosongs.bsky.social and featuring an appearance by @susanstryker.bsky.social, because this is fucking Berlin and we don't give in to prejudice and fearmongering here. #operalabberlin

The most rewarding part of this project has been working with Susan Stryker - last May I was citing her work in my video essay about trans voices and now we’ve collaborated on a piece!

Finding A Trans Voice
YouTube video by Avelo Finding A Trans Voice

When I started transitioning, I didn't know who I was, just that I wasn't the gay-bear-in-training I previously thought. This is about that weird process of expressing my authentic self before I knew who that even was, all through an unhealthy obsession with voice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aDG...
