I was the eldest daughter - my transition changed more than my gender

Dec 13, 2023 | inews.co.uk | Jackson King

Much has been written about the experience of the eldest daughter – the firstborn girl who bridges the gap between parent and child to become a sort of “little mother”. She supervises the younger siblings when the grownups are away, she is her mother’s foremost confidante (even before her father), and she is both loved by her siblings for the care she provides yet loathed for the special authority bestowed upon her. Most importantly, the eldest daughter exists for others and not for herself.
What queer men can do to stand up against male violence

Oct 5, 2023 | inews.co.uk | Jackson King

Like most, I was horrified to learn of the death of Elianne Andam, a 15-year-old school girl reportedly killed when she intervened in an argument between her friend and an ex-boyfriend. The travesty has reignited conversations around sexual harassment, male violence and femicide. It’s a conversation I approach with both simple and complex positionality. Simple because I’m a man and I have a responsibility to combat patriarchy and gendered violence.

I'm a dominant who helps other trans people experience joy

Sep 23, 2023 | metro.co.uk | Jackson King

Charlie was splayed out on a sling in the dungeon - a blend of nerves and excitement, but ready and willing. This was one of my first clients as a professional dominant and we were nearing the end of a three-hour session. In our conversations leading up to the meet, they'd expressed a desire to let go and surrender control to someone with a 'firm hand'. And there Charlie was before me, ready to succumb to that submissive state of bliss.

I felt the bromance as a trans guy at an 'erotic edging party'

Aug 14, 2023 | thepinknews.com | Jackson King

Jackson King attended his first ‘Bator Bro’ event. (Getty) Attending his first “erotic edging party” – and becoming, seemingly, the first trans man to join its “brotherhood” – was an eye-opening experience, Jackson King writes. I recently went to Bator Bro at the Bunker Bar – a den of homosexual activity in the heart of London. A stone’s throw from the ‘silicon roundabout’ in Old Street, the venue hosts a range of gay cruising events most days (and nights) of the week.
Stop romanticising the 'tortured artist' - it's slowly destroying culture as we know it

Aug 12, 2023 | inews.co.uk | Jackson King

In 1990, Vincent Van Gogh’s Portrait of Dr Paul Gachet sold for $83m (£65m). Plug that into an inflation calculator and you’re looking at today’s equivalent of $190m (£149m). It’s an eye-watering payout for work by an artist famously plagued by poverty, ill health and institutionalisation before his untimely, tragic death at 37. Yet Van Gogh has come to represent the culturally romanticised trope of the broke, struggling artist who never truly enjoys the fruits of their labour.
